Insurance Information

“Will my insurance cover the rental cost?”

This question can best be answered by the patient’s insurance company, but our experience has shown that rental fees can possibly be covered by private insurance companies, at least partially, provided that a pre-certification or prior authorization is approved by the insurance company. Prior authorization approval can take a few weeks, and occasionally requires review by the medical director of your insurance plan. It is not always possible to obtain prior authorization approval before the equipment is needed, but we can ship equipment with guarantee of payment by credit card, or prepayment, and continue the authorization process.

As with all insurance companies, an authorization is not a guarantee of reimbursement.

McFee is an out-of-network provider of durable medical equipment, therefore, the rental is patient’s responsibility.  As a courtesy, we can file a paid claim to your insurance plan for possible reimbursement to the member.  It is required to sign the Authorization to Release Healthcare Information and Rental Terms.

McFee Technologies has been informed by Medicare that the post-operative Vitrectomy support equipment, which we provide is “Not Reasonable and Necessary” and will not be covered. Medicare will deny all payments for this equipment.

“Will McFee Technologies bill my insurance company?”

Our staff is able to assist with obtaining a preauthorization if requested by the patient.  Prior authorization and pre-certification are usually only obtained if the patient requests it. In all cases, in order to obtain preauthorization we must have the following information:

  • Patient’s full name and date of birth
  • Insured’s full name, insurance company, I.D. number and group number, and date of birth
  • The date of surgery and estimated duration of equipment need
  • Specific equipment, i.e. the name of the package from the McFee Technologies price list/brochure
  • Letter of medical necessity from the ordering physician
  • Clinical office notes or medical records from the surgeon’s office.

Thank you so much for all your kindness. You were so helpful and it was wonderful to know we could get all the necessary items we needed for the recovery of my husband. Thanks again.

Everything went smoothly.   I was concerned because we went to another company originally, and they were a disaster.  But when I spoke to McFee, I was so pleasantly surprised.  The staff was very friendly, compassionate about my husband’s surgery, and did everything they said they were going to do.  Five stars and would definitely use them again.

I’d like to take the opportunity to thank you personally for your help with my wife’s recovery from Vitrectomy surgery. Your equipment is very well designed and works exactly as it should. It made a difficult week a lot more bearable for her. Your rental rates are very reasonable. Your customer support is excellent and very responsive. I especially appreciated your sending the water bottle in a separate package.

I will definitely recommend your services to anyone who is faced with this surgery.

I appreciate your staff and company’s promptness and efficiency in sending me the equipment for my recovery on such short notice.

I was very pleased with the correct size of chair to fit my short stature. The Best Value Package is the ONLY WAY to go with my type of surgery and recovery. It provided so many options for me to keep from going bonkers with the 24/7 face down position.

Thank you for being so very kind, helpful and understanding regarding the macular hole surgery.  Without the components that you provided my face-down time would have been intolerable.

Your cheerful assistance was so comforting and I know, without doubt, that you treat each client equally well….you exemplify customer service and an inherent caring concern that is genuine and so very appreciated.
