Post # 6, Medical Equipment For: Home (or) Facility

What do you do ... you have a parent that is aging, another friend or family member, maybe you, yourself are in need of some medical equipment in a home setting ... again, what do you do?  Who will help?  Who should you call?

You can start by asking your primary doctor ... or ... the health-care provider you are being treated by when the need becomes clear.  Many times those individuals are in contact with local DME .......(Durable Medical Equipment) Companies...  These are the people that have rental wheelchairs, rental hospital beds, oxygen equipment, rental patient lifts, and a number of bath aides.  Many times the DME companies can bill your insurance for you, deliver the equipment, and pick it up when the time comes that you no longer have a need for said equipment.  While these companies fill a very large need, and many of the DME companies are very good ... there are a number of things you should think about:

1. Do I want to use a rental bed?  How many have used this bed prior to my needing this equipment, and has it been cleaned the proper way?  Is this just going to be a short term use ... or ... will I need use of this for a long period of time?  Would the cost of a new bed truly be all that much more money?
2. Wheelchair rentals?  What type of chair do I need?  How long will I need to use it?  How will it need to be used?  How much would it cost to buy vs. rent & pay the co-payments?  Again, how clean is that wheelchair when it is delivered to my home?

Note:  Something you need to talk over with the DME company ... and ... keep in the back of your mind, the very trucks/vans that are delivering your rental bed, mattress, and wheelchair ... may have a dirty/used bed that was just picked up from a sick patient that was admitted into the hospital!  Did that dirty bed touch and contaminate the very equipment you just ordered?
