How to Order Prescribed Oncology Equipment
- Obtain a Detailed Written Order (DWO): Your oncologist or physiatrist must provide a specific prescription with exact ICD-10 diagnosis codes.
- Verify In-Network DME Accreditation: Ensure the chosen supplier is contracted with your insurance carrier to minimize out-of-pocket co-insurance.
- Delivery & Clinical Education: Certified technicians deliver and fit devices (such as compression pumps or feeding equipment) and train caregivers on home operation.
