Replacing lost or damaged durable medical equipment or supplies in a disaster or emergency

I have Original Medicare

If Original Medicare already paid for durable medical equipment (DME) (like a wheelchair or walker) or supplies (like diabetic supplies) damaged or lost due to an emergency or disaster:

• In certain cases, Medicare will cover the cost to repair or replace your equipment or supplies
• Generally, Medicare will also cover the cost of rentals for items (such as wheelchairs) during the time your equipment is being repaired

I have a Medicare Advantage Plan or other Medicare health plan

Contact your plan directly to find out how it replaces DME or supplies damaged or lost in an emergency or disaster. Get your plan's contact information.
