Daily living aids, handled with care

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.

Everyday use

A long-handled reacher and a sock aid are what let someone get dressed alone in the morning after a hip replacement.

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We do not publish coverage amounts or fee-schedule figures on this site.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 you will pay

With Medicare or your plan
We bill your plan directly
You owe only the share your plan sets · we bill a secondary when you have one
Private pay
A plain quote before anything ships
No insurance needed · brand-name or generic to fit the budget

We verify first. Before anything is delivered we tell you what your plan says your share will be. If the plan will not cover it, we say so and quote a private-pay price instead — you decide, nothing is sent on assumption.

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 may include 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.

Frequently asked questions

Are these covered?
Usually not by Medicare Part B. Some Medicare Advantage plans include an over-the-counter allowance that may include them — check your plan's OTC catalog, it is one of the most under-used benefits in the system.
Which of these actually helps after a hip replacement?
The standard set is a reacher, a long-handled shoe horn, a sock aid, a long-handled sponge and a raised toilet seat — because you will be told not to bend past 90 degrees. Your occupational therapist will confirm. Order before surgery if you can.
Do bed rails count as a safety item?
Bed assist handles help a person get in and out of bed. Full bed rails on a hospital bed are a different item with entrapment risks and should be fitted to the bed they belong to, by us.
Do I need a prescription?
For anything billed to Medicare, Medicaid or a commercial plan, yes — and most plans also want chart notes showing why you need it. If you do not have an order yet, we can request one from your prescriber.
How do I know what my plan will pay?
We verify it before we ship and tell you what we found, including your expected share. We do not publish coverage amounts on this site because they vary by plan, by state and by year.
How fast can I get it?
Private-pay and stocked supply items move quickly. Anything requiring prior authorization moves at the speed of your plan — we file it the same day and chase it, but the plan sets the clock.
Can you ship, or do you deliver?
Both. Recurring supplies ship to you anywhere in Florida. Equipment that needs setting up — beds, lifts, mattresses, chairs — we deliver and assemble across Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade.
