Service Details

Description

Specialized Equipment and Supplies is a waiver and Alternative Care program service for people who have an assessed need for additional supplies and equipment beyond what is covered by Medical Assistance (MA) and other funding sources.

* Perform activities of daily living
* Perceive, control, or interact with their environment
* Communicate with others


State Medical Assistance plan medical equipment and supplies are defined under Minnesota Rules, parts 9505.0310.

- Supplies necessary for the proper functioning of such life support
