Ep. 74 | What's the Deal with DME?

When you're trying to navigate aging in place or managing an illness or disability, it can be hard to keep up with all of the lingo. To help, we're going to explore a popular term that you're likely to encounter as you age: durable medical equipment (DME). DME might sound straightforward since you already know what each word means, but it's actually a specific term used by Medicare, Medicaid, and other insurance companies. In general, durable medical equipment is medically necessary supplies and devices that you can use over and over again. Seniors who are more likely to have a chronic illness or mobility difficulties need durable medical equipment more than other age groups.  Join us this week as we discuss specific DME items, insurance coverage options for durable medical equipment, and more to help you be better prepared for navigating through the purchase and implementation of your own DME.
