Durable medical equipment (DME) is medical equipment that is used to perform daily activities in the home. This equipment is used to help a medical necessity and is prescribed by a doctor. This equipment is used primarily in the home and can be used repeatedly. Examples of durable medical equipment are wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, oxygen machines, electric wheelchairs, and mobility scooters. If the durable medical equipment is medically necessary Medicare may cover a portion of the cost.
