DMEPOS is equipment which can withstand repeated use, is primarily and customarily used to serve a medical purpose and generally are useful to a person when they are ill or injured and are appropriate for use in the home. Some items may be subject to prior authorization requirements or quantity limitations. Products must have received approval from the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
