Coverage by equipment
Does insurance cover medical equipment rentals?
Equipment such as oxygen concentrators, hospital beds, wheelchairs, and patient lifts may be covered by Medicare, New York Medicaid, or a managed care plan when plan criteria and medical-necessity requirements are met. Coverage varies — and we verify your exact benefits before anything is delivered.
Does Medicare cover oxygen concentrator rentals?
Yes — Medicare Part B covers oxygen equipment for patients who meet its clinical criteria, with a valid prescription. We verify your Medicare coverage and help with the paperwork. See oxygen concentrator rentals and portable oxygen rentals.
Does Medicaid cover hospital bed rentals?
New York Medicaid may cover hospital beds as durable medical equipment when plan criteria and medical-necessity requirements are met. We confirm your coverage before delivery. See hospital bed rentals.
Is a wheelchair rental covered by insurance?
Wheelchairs may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many managed care plans — coverage rules vary by plan. Call and we’ll verify your plan’s wheelchair benefit.
Does insurance cover patient lifts?
Patient lifts may be covered by many plans when medically necessary and prescribed. We check your coverage and help with the paperwork for you.
What about nebulizers, enteral feeding, and incontinence supplies?
These are typically billed through insurance rather than rented — we participate in 30 plans and verify coverage for each order. For diapers, briefs, and underpads, see does Medicaid cover adult diapers? Or browse the full list on our products page.
The short answer: if a doctor prescribed it — whether it’s an oxygen concentrator, a hospital bed, or a wheelchair — your plan may cover it when its criteria are met. Call (516) 623-9500 with your insurance card handy and we’ll verify your benefits before delivery.
