FAQ
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a general education guide. It tells you when to call your equipment supplier and when to call your doctor, and it doesn't replace either.
Does the usage rule apply to my insurance?
The guide explains the Medicare rule in detail. Many private plans use a similar rule, but not all, so it includes questions to ask your plan.
How do I get it?
Checkout runs through Beacons. You can pay by card, PayPal, Venmo or Pay Later, and the PDF downloads right after purchase.
Does it push products?
No. The PDF has no affiliate links or brand recommendations.
This guide is general education, not medical advice. For problems with your therapy, talk to your equipment supplier or your doctor.
