Online DME Options? - UKFan643 - 01-28-2022
Hi all. I've grown completely tired of fighting with my DME provider to get correct equipment on time when necessary. There are constant issues with them and I just want to move on to someone else. I live in a semi-remote area where there aren't a lot of local options. I'm wondering if anyone out there has a suggested online provider? I will obviously verify with them that they accept my insurance and then go through those steps, but I'm just looking for recommendations instead of going in blind hoping I find a good one.
Thanks!

Due to insurance limitations, I've only dealt with 3 national DME's, Rotech (known as CpO2 here locally as a franchise), Apria, and Lincare. They might be OK, but others are probably better.
What major cities are nearby to help identify possible regional DME's?

I'm about 2 hours from St. Louis and Nashville, 3 from Springfield IL, 4 from Indianapolis and 5 from Chicago.

I've been using ROTECH now for well over three years. They have been very good, responsive, and they have a great website.
They have a chatroom and you can log-in and ask any questions regarding your account, supplies, or whatever. The one I deal with is in Kentucky.
