What is Durable Medical Equipment? Durable medical equipment (DME) and disposable medical supplies are a Colorado Medicaid benefit that provides clients with medical equipment and/or disposable supplies when there is a medical need for the treatment or therapy of an illness or physical condition. DME must serve a medical purpose and be able to withstand repeated use. Some examples of equipment that are considered DME include: oxygen, wheelchairs, walkers and bathroom/bedroom safety equipment. Supplies must also serve a medical purpose, but they are not intended for repeated use. Supply items are items used in active treatment or therapy that are disposable or can be consumed.
