Why we know this works

We love this service because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see people sent home from the hospital and then wait weeks for equipment that was ordered on day one. Why does prescribed medical equipment take so long to arrive? Usually because orders and paperwork bounce between the doctor's office, the supplier, and the insurance file. DMEconnected puts all of it on one platform: providers submit and track orders with the right documentation in one place, suppliers receive orders cleanly, and patients get their equipment with less confusion and delay.

It is especially helpful for people leaving the hospital or rehab who need durable medical equipment like wheelchairs, hospital beds, or respiratory equipment in place quickly. Note that orders typically start with your healthcare provider: for adaptive equipment that does not require a prescription, you can shop AskSAMIE directly.
