Home Medical Equipment (HME) also referred to as durable medical equipment (DME) is any equipment that provides therapeutic benefits or enables the person to perform certain tasks that he or she is unable to undertake otherwise due to certain medical conditions and/or illnesses. Home Medical Equipment includes equipment such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, traction equipment, canes, crutches, walkers, oxygen and other medically needed items. HME is considered to be equipment which can withstand repeated use and is primarily and customarily used to serve a medical purpose. It is generally not useful to a person in the absence of an illness or injury and is appropriate for use in the home.

Supplies are medically necessary medical or surgical items that are consumable, expendable, disposable or non-durable and appropriate for use in the recipient’s home.
