Call before you assume we can't supply it.

This list covers what we supply most often, not everything we can source. If an item is outside it, the answer depends on the payer and the code — and that's a two-minute phone call, not a research project.

Before any of it ships

Nearly every category above needs a written order, a face-to-face examination note dated inside the window the code requires, and a medical-necessity narrative that ties the equipment to a documented limitation in the home. Several also need a specialty evaluation and prior authorization.
