Find Medicare Durable Medical Equipment Rental Providers

Open Medicare.gov on your web browser, scroll down the screen until you see the “Find” links displayed in the image below. If you’re searching for medical equipment, you’ll need to click the link circled in the photo. This will take you to the “Supplier Directory” screen.

Search Supplier Directory

After selecting the “find suppliers of medical equipment & supplies” link, you’ll jump to the Supplier Directory where you’ll be prompted to enter in the zip code of the desired area of service for your medical equipment needs.

Select Competitive Bid Category

From here you’ll enter the zip code for the area you’re seeking medical equipment. If that’s the area in which you live, type that zip code in. The CBP (Competitive Bidding Program) aims to lower the cost for you and Medicare by finding the lowest, most accurate price available. Qualified, accredited suppliers with winning bids are chosen as Medicare contract suppliers. Fraud and abuse are limited with this method. The CBP applies to original Medicare only.

Non-competitive bid categories can be selected. Below is a selection of the category types you can select at Medicare.gov. As an example, we’ve selected Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDS) in the 41015 (Covington, Kentucky) zip code area.
