The rules state that equipment which the beneficiary owns or is a capped rental item may be replaced in 
cases of loss or irreparable damage.  
 
The reasonable useful lifetime of durable medical equipment is determined through program instructions. In the 
absence of program instructions, A/B MACS (B) may determine the reasonable useful lifetime of equipment, 
but in no case can it be less than 5 years. Computation of the useful lifetime is based on when the equipment is 
delivered to the beneficiary, not the age of the equipment. Replacement due to wear is not covered during the 
reasonable useful lifetime of the equipment. During the reasonable useful lifetime, Medicare does cover repair 
up to the cost of replacement (but not actual replacement) for medically necessary equipment owned by the 
beneficiary. You can find this rule in the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, Section 110.2.
