Reachers, dressing aids, adaptive utensils, bed rails and the small items that decide whether someone manages independently.

This is the least impressive category in the catalog and one of the most useful. A sock aid is faintly absurd until the day it is the reason someone can dress without help.

Is it covered?
Most of what we supply is a Medicare Part B benefit, and most Florida commercial plans and Medicare Advantage plans cover it too, when it is medically necessary and your prescriber has documented why you need it. Coverage is never automatic: it depends on your diagnosis, your plan, and what is written in your chart.
What we do about it: before we deliver your daily living aids, we verify your benefits, tell you what your plan says your share will be, and chase any missing paperwork with your prescriber. If your plan will not cover it, we say so up front and quote you a private-pay price instead.
We are enrolled with Medicare as a DMEPOS supplier and we accept Florida Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and a broad list of commercial plans — see the full list.
We do not publish coverage amounts or fee-schedule figures on this site. Allowables differ by state, by plan and by year, and a number that is stale or from the wrong jurisdiction is worse than no number at all. Call us and we will quote your actual benefit.
What your order needs
Sending these together is the single biggest thing that shortens turnaround. Missing documentation, not policy, is what stalls most orders.
- Most daily living aids are not covered by insurance — they are classed as convenience or self-help items rather than durable medical equipment
- Some Medicare Advantage plans have an over-the-counter allowance that covers them. It is worth checking, because a lot of people have this benefit and never spend it
- For private pay, no prescription is needed
Providers: fax to (800) 594-1226 or call (800) 304-7030. If something is missing we will call your office rather than sitting on it.
