[00:00:00]Have you heard you can get free equipment through Medicare? It's kind of true. Everything you've heard is probably kind of true. So, let's say you have a Medicare supplement plan, any plan, you've met your deductible. At this point, you're eligible to get medical equipment through Medicare with no cost, so you can call that free.

[00:00:16]Canes, walkers, wheelchairs, indoor interior mobile mobility scooters, hospital beds. There's a long list of durable medical equipment that you can get through Medicare.

[00:00:27]Now, you got to follow their procedure.

[00:00:29]And you don't just buy it through Amazon and expect to get reimbursed. It will not work that way. With Medicare, you can't get a new one of whatever you get.

[00:00:38]The CPAP machine, uh whatever you get, you can't get a new one for five year five years. They have a five-year rule.

[00:00:46]Unless something very, very rare happens, you know, like a hurricane. You can't just say, "It's wearing out. It's cosmetically ugly. I'm embarrassed to go out with it." You can't say there's technical logical advances. That won't work.
