Medical Equipment
Durable medical equipment (DME) — hospital beds, wheelchairs, oxygen, and more — delivered and set up at home.
What is Medical Equipment?
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) includes hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen equipment, lifts, and many other items patients need to recover safely at home or manage chronic conditions.
Patient Path Hub coordinates DME delivery, setup, and training. We work with trusted DME providers who handle insurance billing, equipment maintenance, and pickup when no longer needed.
