What do I need to sign up?

There are five things you need to sign up:

  1. Basic information: Name, address, phone number
  2. Condition details: Condition type & symptoms
  3. Insurance information: Insurance card for the person using supplies.
  4. Doctor’s contact information: Doctor name & phone number
  5. Doctor’s diagnosis: Diagnosis confirming a need for supplies to treat the condition

Why do you need details about the condition?

We use condition details to determine which products are the best for your needs. Some insurance plans also require these details for supply coverage.

Why do you need health insurance information?

We need your health insurance information to verify that your plan is active and will cover your medical supplies.

Why do you need the doctor’s contact information?

Insurance plans require paperwork from a doctor in order to cover medical supplies. We’ll contact the doctor for you and collect the documents required.

Why do I need a diagnosis?

Insurance plans only cover supplies that are needed to treat a condition. A doctor’s diagnosis serves as proof that your condition requires medical supplies for treatment.

How long does it take to verify insurance?

We usually verify insurance within one business day.

How do I know if the insurance is verified?

We’ll contact you once the insurance is verified and the paperwork is complete. If we encounter an issue, an expert from our team will contact you quickly to resolve it.

How long does it take to get paperwork from the doctor?

It depends on the doctor. Usually, it takes 2-5 business days. We stay in close contact with the doctor to get the paperwork done quickly.

You can help by letting your doctor know that we’re sending paperwork regarding your supply needs.

How fast will the supplies arrive?

Once an order has shipped, it usually arrives within 48 hours. We’ll notify you when your order ships.
