Anyone know a good DME in Boston area?

Post by Godsgirl » Sun Jan 28, 2007 12:49 pm

Hi,

Anyone know a good DME in the Boston area? I live 20 minutes north of Boston. I need a place where they allow fitting of the masks before I purchase it. The place I go to now doesn't allow me to try masks on and I don't want to end up with another one that doesn't fit. I'd appreciate any help anyone would give me here. Thanks!!!

You might want to double check with your insurance company to see if they have a list of "approved" DMEs. They might restrict you on who you can use.

Then, our sponsor provides a locator. Just click on your area and you will get a listing with phone numbers of DMEs in your area. You can call them.

Good Luck

Hi
We are in Southern NH and use New England Home Therapies for my daughter's stuff. For us there is an office out of Concord NH, but I see that they have an office in Southborough, MA. I had heard they were based in MA.
Anyway, we use them for all my daughter's extensive respiratory equipment and I have found them really great to work with.


I am sure they are not perfect, and they are sure to have the same pricing issues as all dme's trying to make $ and still jump through all the insurance hoops. but they call every couple of weeks to check in my daughter's equipment, and an RT comes out once a month to check settings. Ok she is on high tech stuff, but still no matter when I call, they either help over the phone, or someone comes out to fix it.

here is the MA info:

New England Home Therapies
337 Turnpike Rd
Southborough, MA 01772
5084808409
