   Yes, Medicare Part B covers durable medical equipment (DME). This includes wheelchairs, nebulizers, blood glucose monitors, hospital style beds and more. For them to cover it, you need a valid prescription from the doctor which includes your name, date of birth, address, the type of DME that you need, the duration of time you will need it for, and a diagnosis code for the condition it is treating.   With that prescription, any medical supply store that is contracted with Medicare will be able to provide the equipment.
