Erectile Dysfunction and Medicare Coverage

Impotence, also known as Erectile Dysfunction issues are becoming more and more common as the baby boomer aged generation heads into their retirement days; however, it's not normal to have any type of erectile dysfunction or impotence at any age!

If you're  suffering from (ED) Erectile Dysfunction issues, consult your healthcare professional (Physician or Urologist are recommended) and make sure to discuss potential medical problems that could be affecting your sexual performance. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by many things including: depression, stress(at work or life), diabetes, prostate issues, high blood pressure, heart problems, lack of exercise, alcohol, and obesity just to name a few potential problem areas.  Discuss with your Physician what medical conditions you have that could contribute to erectile dysfunction. Many options are available these days to help you improve and overcome Erectile Dysfunction from pills (Viagra, Cialis, etc...) all the way to vacuum erection pumps.

For those unable or unwilling to take an expensive drug regiment, an ED Pump or Vacuum Therapy Device, as it's referred to in the medical field, is a great alternative. Most private insurance companies, including  Medicare, will cover an ED Pump providing a medical necessity is proven. This is done through statements from your Doctor and through a RX (Which we can help you obtain by contacting your physician).

The requirements vary from insurance to insurance as well as Medicare, but if the condition is prevalent most providers will cover the use of an ED pump for men.

If you are uneasy about discussing with billing agents and insurance companies, FDA approved ED pumps like the Encore OTC to be readily available without a prescription starting in the $100.00 - $200.00 range.
