Hi Silver!
Well it's sure good to see you again!
You bring up a very good question. Since these devices are medically necessary, as the initial approval of these devices would suggest, I would think that the insurance would pay for replacements.
I mean heck, when it comes time to change our battery, I would like to assume this would be covered.
I spose this is something that we ALL should investigate with our different vendors.
I wonder how LONG the extended warranty lasts, and how much does it cost?
I do know how frustrating it is to get in touch with Medicare. Have you tried contacting the customer service so that you'd be able to talk to a human being, rather than trying to wade thru all those publications?
Hopefully you could pin down a Medicare rep specifically regarding DME's. IF in fact the SCS is actually recognized as a durable medical equipment. I'm pretty sure they are, but don't want to give out incorrect info.
Mark, (or anybody) is in fact the SCS considered a DME?
Hoping you get answers SOON, Silver!
