Tens Machine-purchasing through Insurance. I have contacted 92 people on our durable medical providers.

Tlas

I've contacted 92 durable medical equipment companies that I providers through my insurance. Not a one of them will let me purchase a TENS unit and run it through my insurance. Let me rephrase that 92 of them did not even carry TENS unit. I'm in desperate need of this machine I can't afford to pay 100%. I have met my deductible so 80% of it would be covered by my insurance. Can anyone help me with this?

    Hello, If a provider is in-network under your plan they are required to submit their claim to us for you. If these providers do not offer the item you need you can contact your primary care provider to see if they can recommend a provider for you who can provide this item and you can then contact our customer service department to verify the network status of that provider. ~ Kayla
