You do not need a prescription to place an order with CreditForCaring. Whether you’re purchasing daily use products or equipment that’s not medically necessary under Medicare or other insurance, you can easily buy them without a prescription. However, if you intend to seek reimbursement from your insurance provider, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare team and obtain a prescription from a licensed health practitioner. This prescription can then be used to submit your purchase for reimbursement through your insurance payer using the contact information provided on your insurance ID card.
Your healthcare provider can offer valuable advice on which equipment and supplies are recommended for your needs, especially for items like wheelchairs that may require customization. For products deemed ‘medically necessary’ under Medicare Part B, you can find more information in our Resource section to understand the requirements and coverage details. For items not covered as ‘medically necessary,’ you have the option to purchase them directly, often at retail prices, and you can use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) to help manage these costs effectively.
