What does capped rental mean?
Medicare will pay for the rental of the equipment for 13 continuous months of use with the exclusion of oxygen equipment which rents for 36 months. After Medicare has paid for 13 months of continuous use on capped rental equipment, the supplier shall transfer the title to the beneficiary. Oxygen equipment does not transfer title to the beneficiary and the supplier is required to maintain the equipment until the 60th month under Medicare guidelines. After the 60th month the beneficiary can opt for new equipment and a new 36 month rental period begins.
