If you are currently scheduled for surgery with Dr. Cole, you may be prescribed durable medical equipment (DME) for use post operatively. Equipment may include a brace, sling, crutches, Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) Machine, or an ice compression device. The equipment prescribed is to help facilitate your postoperative recovery and rehabilitation. We believe that, when prescribed, these devices are an integral part of achieving a successful outcome.
Prior to your surgery, our office will submit your insurance and pertinent clinical information to the appropriate companies for your equipment, so that they can verify your insurance benefits. Their staff will attempt to contact you prior to surgery to discuss your insurance coverage and the possibility of “out-of-pocket” expenses. Out-of-pocket expenses will depend on the terms of your individual insurance policy. Please understand that by its very nature, insurance is considered “risk sharing” and most carriers will not cover all aspects of your peri-operative care leaving some expenses for patient responsibility. Regardless of the significant benefit and medical necessity, some insurance policies will not cover DME and many do not cover it in totality. Please contact your insurance company prior to your surgery to verify your DME benefits. If you are unclear as to what equipment may be prescribed for you following surgery, please call Valerie McKenzie at , Valerie Gamez at , or Maeghan Vickerstaff at .
Following surgery, we recommend that you contact the DME company directly or our DME store with any concerns or problems. Our DME store can be reached at (312) 432-2482.
