When it comes to healthcare, many people are surprised to learn that insurance covers far more durable medical equipment (DME) than they realize. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or recovering from surgery, you could be eligible for essential medical devices — often covered up to 75–100% under traditional Medicare or Medicare supplement plans from UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, or Humana.

At PRN Medical Supply Inc, we help patients every day discover benefits they didn’t know existed — and take care of all the paperwork so you can focus on your health.

1. Compression Stockings

Compression stockings are a small change that can make a big difference in circulation and leg comfort. They help prevent swelling, improve blood flow, and reduce your risk of blood clots or varicose veins — especially for those with diabetes or chronic venous insufficiency.

Covered by: Medicare and most supplement plans, when prescribed for conditions like lymphedema or venous disease.

Tip: A doctor’s prescription and documentation of medical necessity are required. PRN Medical Supply coordinates with your physician to ensure proper coverage.

2. Knee Scooters

A knee scooter (or knee walker) offers a safer, more comfortable recovery than crutches after a foot or ankle injury or surgery. It helps you stay mobile without putting weight on the affected limb.

Covered by: Medicare and supplemental insurance with a doctor’s prescription for temporary mobility needs.

Tip: PRN Medical Supply Inc assists in submitting the proper billing codes so your claim is approved smoothly.

3. Diabetic Shoes and Custom Inserts

Diabetic shoes aren’t just footwear — they’re a proven method of preventing ulcers, wounds, and infections that can lead to serious complications. They’re designed to provide support, relieve pressure points, and keep your feet protected.

Covered by: Medicare covers one pair of diabetic shoes and up to three inserts per year, and most Medicare supplement plans (UHC, BCBS, Humana) follow this same coverage.

Tip: PRN Medical Supply Inc handles your documentation and fitting to ensure compliance and comfort.
