Elcee...that would depend on her insurance company. They are the ones to define what is covered or not. When you need something..have the doctor(which ever one you have the best repore with) write a script for it. I would assume that yes, a pump would be included and perhaps a suction machine (lots here got relief from mucus buildup with the suction equipment).

You have so much to worry about right now, but I would encourage you to just wait and see on this matter. Most durable medical equipment places can get things to you within a day or two. I am speaking from experience...I ordered a Therabite for Bill that he never really needed or used.

You are a great caregiver by the way...hang in there.
