Have you recently received an injury or are recovering from surgery? If so, chances are you may be in need of an assistive device to aid in healing. Physical Therapy & Hand Rehabilitation offers DME, or durable medical equipment, to help our patients in need.
Medicare defines durable medical equipment, or DME, as “reusable medical equipment that has been deemed medically necessary. Your doctor or another health care provider determines what equipment you need per Medicare guidelines. He or she assesses your health condition, what equipment can be used in your home and what equipment you are able to use.”
Physical Therapy & Hand Rehabilitation is a credentialed Medicare & Medicaid supplier of Durable Medical Equipment with all insurance networks in Maryland. We are credentialed to do such through our discipline. As such, DME is an efficient adjunct to therapy for many conditions, especially acute conditions where a prolonged therapy care plan is NOT the most efficient form of treatment.
We incorporate the clinical and administrative vetting and management of orthopedic knee, ankle, spinal, and upper extremity orthotics of various types, brands, and specifications into our care plans.
We also incorporate walking aids and assistive devices of various types and brands into our care plans. These include, but are not limited to walkers, rollator walkers, canes, manual wheelchairs and accessories, ‘offloading’ boots, home cervical traction devices, TENS units, crutches and foot drop supports.
