Private Insurance Plans

Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna & more

BCBS Aetna UHC Cigna

Most major private insurance plans cover medically necessary DME. Coverage details vary by plan — your deductible, copay, and coverage percentages depend on your specific policy. TruePath verifies your benefits before any order is placed so there are no surprises.

What to have ready when you call:

Your insurance ID card (front and back)
Your primary care physician's name and phone number
Any existing prescription or physician order if you have one
Your date of birth and home delivery address

Understanding the DME Insurance Process

Prescription or Referral

Your doctor or specialist writes a prescription or referral for the needed equipment. Hospital case managers can refer directly. TruePath can work with any licensed Arizona physician.

Insurance Verification

TruePath contacts your insurance carrier to verify active coverage, confirm the equipment is covered under your plan, and identify your expected out-of-pocket cost (deductible, copay).

Prior Authorization

Many insurance plans require prior authorization (PA) for certain equipment. TruePath handles all PA requests, including obtaining any required Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) from your physician.

Equipment Ordered & Delivered

Once authorized, TruePath orders your equipment and schedules home delivery — typically within 24–48 hours. Our team sets up the equipment and provides patient education.

Direct Insurance Billing

TruePath bills your insurance directly. For covered equipment, you receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurer. Any patient responsibility amount is communicated clearly before delivery.
