Allumed, Inc.:
This is the medical supplier that we recommend in general,
as they are a Medicaid and Medicare provider of DME/Title XIX and deliver
to a large area of the state of Texas. They are also specialists in
obtaining medical supplies through Title XIX and DME. Our contact is:
Pam Shawstad, (800) 883-3512 or (254) 773-1226 ext: 106, 1103 West Adams,
Temple, TX 76504

and other adaptive equipment. Free product catalog available by request.
-
Prentke Romich Company: In our opinion, one of the best
companies at dealing with Medicaid Title XIX/DME requests for
communication devices. Note: Do expect to get denied several times by
Medicaid before they approve the request, but Prentke Rom will explain how
this works. Often times more information about the consumer is required.

lifts and bathroom items.
