Durable Medical Equipment
| Q: | I am new to caregiving. What is considered Durable Medical Equipment?
— Rira, Paducah, KY |
| A: | Durable medical equipment (DME) is equipment primarily used to serve a medical purpose, can withstand repeated use, and is appropriate for use in the home.
Some examples of DME include hospital beds, walkers, wheel chairs, and oxygen tents. Medical supplies of an expendable nature, such as bandages, rubber gloves and irrigating kits are not considered by Medicare to be DME. Some local groups may allow you to borrow equipment for short term use. |
