How to file a claim for medical equipment
Most equipment claims will be for rentals. In some cases, you’ll want to buy. Claims for rentals and purchases work differently.
Rental:
For most medical equipment rental claims, all we need is a prescription for the equipment.
If the need for equipment is long or permanent, purchase may be considered.
Purchase:
Purchasing equipment requires a pre-approval process. To get preapproved, we need two quotes from separate equipment providers that include:
- Patient name
- Diagnosis
- Prognosis
- Expected duration of use
- Equipment provider name
- Itemized cost breakdown
If Medavie Blue Cross is not your primary health insurer, we need confirmation of what your primary carrier has approved.
If provincial healthcare is helping to cover costs, we’ll need a statement that confirms the amount.
Submitting a claim
To submit a claim for rentals, we just need your prescription and paid receipt.
To submit a claim for purchase, we just need your prescription, paid receipt, and detailed (itemized) receipt.
