How to Obtain Home Medical Equipment and Supplies

Patients of all ages, but usually elderly patients have health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory issues, diabetes, and more that are the result of prolonged lack of physical movement and home confinement.

It is important for these individuals to acquire home medical equipment and supplies that can improve their quality of life. The elderly and any high-risk group of people can experience
significant health benefits from the use of home medical equipment and other free or very
affordable medical supplies.

There are several ways to access the medical equipment you or your loved one needs in a prompt manner. These include:

Purchasing the Equipment Yourself

Medical supply companies offer home medical equipment and supplies to medical clinics,
hospitals, and individual patients. Danlee Medical Products, Inc. offers an extensive array of home medical supplies online designed to meet the needs of patients who have cardiology
concerns, whether at a medical care facility or in-home.

Getting a Prescription from a Physician

A physician’s order is still necessary even if you have Medicaid or Medicare Part B available to help pay for home medical equipment and supplies. A doctor must evaluate the ability of an
individual (such caretakers or patients) to manage and use particular types of equipment in the home. The doctor may ask some questions prior to issuing a prescription for the equipment to be used in the home.

Through a Nonprofit Organization

In some cases, local nonprofit entities may offer ways for persons who require certain types of medical equipment to obtain it for free. Typically, these programs will provide equipment such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, commodes, and more.

No matter the method by which you get medical supplies and equipment for yourself or a loved one, it is important to obtain quality equipment that has proper certification to operate with the required functionality and accuracy.
