Frequently Asked Questions

Durable medical equipment is any medical equipment used to aid in a better quality of life. The DME we specialize in is in “off the shelf” orthotic bracing, which is becoming an excellent alternative to other treatments available. DME is typically a one time cost, if any, and the patient does not have to concern themselves with the potential and harmful side effects often associated with opiates, surgery and addictive treatments or prescriptions. DME is an effective painless way to reduce pain and improve the quality of your life. DME is used to provide additional support and care to patients outside of the hospital environment and is designed to support both temporary and permanent conditions.

Once we have verified your individual insurance, which will determine your coverage, received your approval and receipt of the necessary documentation, About You Medical will file a claim with your insurance provider for reimbursement. Claims filed and approved by Medicare cover up to 80% of product cost (less any deductible). The remaining 20% is potentially paid by your secondary provider, if you have secondary coverage. Ultimately, you are responsible for the 20%. Plans vary based on your individual coverage and it is recommended you contact us before considering an order. Private insurance programs and benefits vary and are specific to each individual plan. Reimbursements are dependent on the type of program, deductibles and eligibility.

All information is held confidentially and not released to any third party. About You Medical will ONLY use this information, with your approval to check to see if your insurance qualifies you for your product of interest.

You are not obligated in any way. Your call is confidential and we understand many patients simply want to see if they are eligible and if their insurance will cover the cost of their order. There is no obligation of any kind and it is entirely up to you if you want to order a product or not.

After we have verified your insurance and YOU have confirmed your order, on your behalf we will contact your doctor and fax your doctor the LMN (letter of medical necessity/doctor prescription) for him/her to complete. Once we receive the signed paperwork from your doctor, your order will be released and shipped straight to your door at our expense. When the delivery is confirmed, we will file the claim on your behalf with your insurance company.
