In order to enroll or maintain Medicare billing privileges, all DMEPOS (durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies) suppliers, including pharmacy, must comply with the Medicare program's supplier standards and quality standards to become accredited.
Thrifty White Pharmacy offers a variety of durable medical supplies including crutches, canes, nebulizers and walkers. Pharmacy staff will instruct you how to use the equipment and answer any questions you may have. Thrifty White Pharmacy will also bill your Medicaid and Medicare insurance for these items.
Whether purchasing prescription medications or over-the-counter medications, you need to be aware of any negative drug interactions.
