Whether you need some short-term support or you have a long-term need for medical equipment, durable medical equipment (DME) is covered under your Original Medicare Part B benefits. You’ll need a prescription from your doctor to access coverage to rent or buy eligible equipment.
Covered DME may include:
- Canes
- Crutches
- Wheelchairs

- Oxygen equipment

- Blood sugar monitors
- Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)—examples include Dexcom and Libre
