If you’re in the process of obtaining a Cubby Bed through insurance, finding the right Durable Medical Equipment (DME) supplier is a crucial step. The DME will be your partner in navigating the insurance journey, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is submitted for approval.

How to Use Our Supplier Locator

Our Supplier Locator tool is designed to help you find a DME in your area. Here are some tips to make the most of it:

  • Zoom Out: Some DMEs can serve up to 150 miles, so zoom out on the map for more options.

  • Stay In-State: Many Medicaid programs require you to work with an in-state DME, so be sure to select one within your state.

Finding a DME can sometimes be challenging, depending on your location. If you’re having trouble, consider these additional options:

Additional Ways to Find a DME

  1. Doctor Referral: Ask your child’s doctor if they can refer you to a DME. While not all practices are familiar with safety beds, it’s always worth checking. If they can help, they may be able to send the necessary documents directly to the DME.

  2. Insurance Referral: Contact your insurance provider and request a list of Medical Equipment Suppliers in your area. Be sure to confirm that these suppliers can provide Cubby Beds.

  3. New DMEs: We can work with any DME, even if they’re not listed on our website. If you find a DME that’s willing to help, ask them to reach out to us. We’ll work with them to get everything set up quickly and smoothly.

Finding a Local DME

Questions to Ask a Potential DME Supplier

Once you’ve found a potential supplier, give them a call and ask the following questions:

  1. Do you provide Cubby Beds?

  2. Do you accept my insurance?

  3. Do you service my area?

If they answer "yes" to all three, you're on the right track! From there, you can share the DME’s contact information with your child’s doctor and have them send the prescription and Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) directly to the DME.
