Hi everyone
Probably been discussed before, but how long before you can sell your machine that you got through insurance? Thanks

I waited until 15 months passed and asked the DME for a bill of sale showing that I owned the machine. They wanted to know why I wanted a bill of sale and I explained it was for custom's purposes -- no further explanation was necessary. I told them it could be in the form of a letter or simply an invoice showing a zero balance and a paid-in-full designation. I received the letter. Medicare paid for the machine through my DME, at the time, Apria. I would consider keeping your present machine as a backup or as a travel companion.

Agreed, typical is 13 month, handled as rent to own or some similar odd fashion.

Apria DME - United Healthcare Medicare Advantage PPO = 10 months. Check with your medical insurance.

You have to confirm with your insurance company. Some members were shocked to find out that they NEVER owned their machine. It was always a rental. In other cases, the insurance company actually owned the machine!
