What does the term “capped rental” mean regarding Medicare coverage?
A “capped rental” item means that the supplier must allow the beneficiary the option to purchase a rented piece of equipment during the tenth month of usage. The beneficiary may choose to continue renting the item. However, rental payments must cease after 15 months, and the supplier can charge a maintenance fee every six months equivalent to one month’s rental.
