What is Home Medical Equipment?
Home medical equipment is anything that you need to manage your care or the care of a loved one at home. Often, home medical equipment is prescribed by your physician or health care provider. However, you may also choose to buy or rent medical equipment at your personal discretion. Home medical equipment often refers to the actual equipment as well as the services required to determine eligibility for equipment, have the equipment delivered and set up, assist with billing, and more.
Durable medical equipment (DME) is a component of home medical equipment. To be durable medical equipment, medical equipment must be:
- Durable, meaning it can be used more than once. However, some medical supplies like diabetes test strips that are single-use are considered durable medical equipment.
- Medically necessary and ordered by a physician or healthcare provider
- Able to be used at home
- Specific for medical use and not used by people who are not sick or hurt
Is Durable Medical Equipment Tax Deductible?
If you pay for durable medical equipment (DME) on your own, meaning that insurance or another person or entity did not pay for it, you may be eligible to deduct the costs of the equipment from your taxes for the year in which the expense was incurred. Durable medical equipment (DME) is defined as supplies or equipment ordered by a physician or health care provider. DME is used for an extended period of time, and in some cases, every day. Examples of durable medical equipment include wheelchairs, oxygen equipment, diabetes testing supplies, CPAP, and hospital beds.
Personal general health items like vitamins are not considered durable medical equipment, and, therefore, are not tax deductible. It’s important for you to consult a tax consultant to determine if you are eligible to deduct durable medical equipment for you, a spouse, or a dependent.
Does Medicare Cover Home Medical Equipment?
Whether you have Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance, most home medical equipment is typically covered for purchase or rental if a physician or health care professional has prescribed it for you due to a medical reason. Penn Highlands Home Medical Equipment continually work with private insurance companies, Medicaid, and Medicare to ensure that when you are searching for medical equipment near me, we are in your insurance network and provide the best quality medical equipment for the lowest cost. We also offer CareCredit, which helps you pay for out-of-pocket medical equipment and renting medical equipment.
What Medical Equipment Should I Have at Home?
When considering buying or renting medical equipment, the types of home medical equipment you need will depend on your injury or illness as well as your mobility needs (or those of your loved one if you are purchasing to help care for someone else). For instance, if you have knee surgery and have steps going into your home, you may need home medical equipment like handrails, canes, or a walker. Your physician or healthcare provider will work with you to assess your needs based on your health condition, home and/or work, and your personal lifestyle. Our team at Penn Highlands Home Medical Equipment can also work with you to make recommendations to your healthcare provider based on your needs, your home, and your limitations.
