Content: How does an assessment for adaptive equipment and durable medical equipment work? A practitioner from Buffalo Occupational therapy will conduct a comprehensive evaluation either at the studio, the location of your durable medical equipment vendor, or your home
After an analysis of function is conducted, the occupational therapist will determine the appropriateness of a variety of adaptive equipment and/or durable medical equipment base on your current function as well as provide an outlook of beneficial equipment for use throughout the span of your diagnosis. You will receive a copy of all reports, information, resources, prices, and recommendations for your records and later use. When applicable, Buffalo Occupational Therapy will use the information gathered during your comprehensive evaluation to appropriate your need for a specific piece of durable medical equipment or adaptive equipment for coverage determination. Buffalo Occupational Therapy will follow this process with you and your DME provider to provide medical-based information for future appeals or documentation. Why choose Buffalo Occupational Therapy? Immediate appointment scheduling with accommodating appointment times. Buffalo Occupational Therapy practitioners have an education and continued competencies in functional evaluations with the subsequent assignment of appropriate adaptive equipment and durable medical equipment that will maximize independence and quality of life. We don’t make recommendations that are not necessary as we understand financial constraints and seek to maximize all resources. An NYS board-registered Occupational Therapy Practitioner can provide a comprehensive functional evaluation to determine your need for applicable durable medical equipment (DME) and adaptive equipment (AE).
