How Medicare reimbursement works
Medicare allows beneficiaries to submit their own claims directly when a supplier is not enrolled in Medicare. This is done using the CMS-1490S form — officially titled "Patient's Request for Medical Payment" — which you submit to your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).
According to Medicare.gov, you typically have up to 12 months from the date of service to file a claim. For detailed guidance, visit Medicare.org's reimbursement overview.

What about other insurance providers?
For other insurance providers, reimbursement eligibility varies by plan. Various insurances exist, and some may cover the costs of medical devices like the ones on our store. If yours does, we would be happy to offer our assistance.
We recommend contacting your insurer directly to ask about out-of-network or DME reimbursement policies. If your insurer requests documentation or an itemized bill from us, reach out and we'll do our best to support your claim.
