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 IF NON-STANDARD EQUIPMENT BEING
ORDERED*
* If a patient's weight is over 250lbs., please include
height & weight on prescription.
By
including this information on the prescription, additional
paperwork can be avoided.
Helpful tips for writing DME prescriptions:
Cane Prescriptions: Please indicate whether you
would like a standard or quad cane.
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. Medicaid will
cover the cost of the entire chair with proper diagnosis.
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.
