Medicare Part B will cover a good amount of Durable Medical Equipment items (DMEs). As a rule of thumb, if your doctor prescribes it because it's medically necessary, Medicare will cover it.
Please note, Medicare only pays for about 80% of the cost - a Medigap plan can cover all or a portion of the other 20% (doesn't sound like much, but the dollar figure can add up quickly). If you don't have one already, I would suggest securing a Medigap plan. A big advantage of the Medigap plans are that they create a very predictable expense structure so you're not hit with big medical bills for thousands of dollars.
I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your coverage and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
