HI,
What is DME benefits? All I know is that I called the insurance co and they said that they pay 100% after my deductible has been met.
And yes part of the cost applied to my deductible, but only $100.
But since my deductible is so high I've only paid $600 of my $2000 and therefore have to pay the difference. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this and understand the situation, but it's because of the way my doctor gave them to me. I know they never "give" you anything, but she didn't even bring up anything about it potentially costing me an arm and a leg for something perhaps not necessary.
I just feel so trapped. I'm not even going to use the braces because they hurt too much. It just doesn't make sense that you can't return them if they've never been used.
