The following applies to ALL Durable Medical Equipment, including wigs: If more than one piece of Durable Medical Equipment can meet the functional need, benefits are available only for the most cost-effective piece of equipment. Growth Hormones and all self-injectables are covered if administered in a physician's office.
Benefits are provided for the replacement of a type of Durable Medical Equipment once every 3 calendar years.
Care Coordination will decide if the equipment should be purchased or rented. You must purchase or rent the Durable Medical Equipment from the vendor Care Coordination identifies. |
Thanks...
Sorry you are having so many problems with UHC... They annoyed the heck out of me more than once.
I won't quote the whole paragraph, but here's the relevant excerpt from my docs. Remember, this was on the next page and could easily be overlooked:
The calendar year limit shown above does not apply to Durable Medical Equipment under Diabetes Treatment.
If fact, I had to go a few rounds with them to get them to agree. Kinda senseless for health care to cover only a pump and not the parts needed to use the pump. Doh...
