Why doesn’t a doctor’s order guarantee you’ll get your durable medical equipment (DME) approved—or delivered—the same day like medication? And why does insurance only cover basic models instead of premium equipment?

In this episode, Tara Slaughter, Certified Durable Medical Equipment Specialist breaks down the process behind DME approvals and explains why insurance focuses on medical necessity over quality.

You’ll learn:
 ✅ Why doctor’s orders ≠ insurance approval
✅ Why you can’t get medical equipment the same day as medication
✅ The difference between basic and premium DME
✅ How to advocate for upgrades when insurance only covers the minimum
