Prescribers info...

In an effort to save time, we ask that prescribers include the following information on their prescriptions when writing an order for medical equipment.

       TYPE OF EQUIPMENT BEING PRESCRIBED

       DIAGNOSIS OR DIAGNOSIS CODE

       LENGTH OF NEED

       PATIENT WEIGHT & HEIGHT

By including this information on the prescription, additional paperwork can be avoided.

Helpful tips for writing DME prescriptions:

Walker Prescriptions: Use the photos to help with selection.  Please indicate if larger size is needed and note patient weight on prescription.

Wheelchair Prescriptions: Please indicate Lightweight, Standard, Wide or Extra-Wide.  Also include whether or not leg-rests are needed or not.  Please indicate patient weight on prescription if over 250lbs.

Hospital Bed Prescriptions: type of bed (example: semi-electric hospital bed w/siderails).  All of our in-stock hospital beds are standard size.  If a larger size is needed, please indicate on prescription and there will be a 2-4 day waiting period.  Please indicate length of need along with diagnosis on prescription.

Commodes: Standard 3-in-1 commode, Drop-arm commode, or bariatric commode.  Remember diagnosis and length of need on prescription.

Lift Chairs: Medicare patients must pay non-Medicare covered cost before chair will be ordered.    Please indicate diagnosis and length of need on prescription.  (Note: The patient must be able to ambulate either with or without assistance after reaching upright position to qualify for chair.)

Patient Aids: Patient aids don't require a prescription, but we ask that you write one or at least write a note to help the patient remember exactly what they might need.  We carry toilet seat risers, grab bars, shower chairs, tub bars, etc.  If a particular item isn't in-stock, we can generally receive it the next business day and have it delivered to the patient.
