Home Health Depot is a medical supply retailer with physical stores and online ordering
Home Health Depot is a chain of medical supply stores that sells equipment, mobility aids, wound care products, and daily living aids. You can shop in person at their physical locations or order online for delivery. The company operates independently — it is not part of The Home Depot, the home improvement chain.
The stores stock items like walkers, wheelchairs, bathroom safety equipment, compression stockings, diabetic supplies, oxygen equipment, and incontinence products. Some locations also rent equipment like hospital beds and wheelchairs for short-term use. Prices and inventory vary by location.
Key Takeaways
- Home Health Depot has physical store locations where you can see and try equipment before buying, plus an online store for remote ordering.
- You can rent certain items like hospital beds and wheelchairs instead of purchasing them outright.
- Many insurance plans, including Medicare, may cover some medical equipment if you have a prescription from your doctor.
- Store locations and product availability differ by region, so calling ahead or checking their website helps you find what you need.
- You do not need a prescription to shop at Home Health Depot, though insurance coverage often requires one.
How to find a Home Health Depot location near you
Home Health Depot operates stores in multiple states, but not nationwide. The easiest way to find a location is to visit their website and use the store locator tool, which shows addresses, phone numbers, and hours. You can also call their customer service line to ask about the nearest store.
If there is no physical location in your area, you can order online through their website and have items shipped to your home. Online ordering works the same way as in-store shopping — you browse products, add them to your cart, and check out. Shipping times and costs depend on your location and the item.
What you need to know about pricing and insurance coverage
Home Health Depot prices vary by product and location. Some items are inexpensive (under $20), while others like wheelchairs or oxygen equipment cost several hundred dollars or more. The store does not publish a full price list online, so calling your local store or visiting in person gives you the most accurate pricing.
Many insurance plans, including Medicare Part B, may cover certain medical equipment if your doctor writes a prescription. Medicare typically covers items like wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen equipment, and diabetic supplies when they meet specific medical criteria. You will need to bring your insurance card and prescription to the store, or provide that information when ordering online. Home Health Depot staff can often help you understand what your insurance may cover, but they cannot determine your coverage — your insurance company makes that decision.
If you do not have insurance or your insurance does not cover an item, you pay out of pocket. Some stores offer payment plans or discounts for cash purchases, so it is worth asking.
Renting versus buying equipment
Home Health Depot rents certain items for temporary use, which costs less than buying if you need equipment for a few weeks or months. Hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, and commodes are commonly available for rent. Rental rates vary by item and location — a hospital bed might rent for $30 to $50 per week, for example, though this varies.
Renting makes sense if you are recovering from surgery, waiting for insurance approval to buy, or unsure whether you will need the equipment long-term. When you rent, you typically pay a deposit and a weekly or monthly fee. You return the item when you no longer need it, and your deposit is refunded minus any damage charges.
Buying is the better choice if you need equipment for more than a few months or if you will use it regularly. Once you own it, there are no ongoing rental fees, though you are responsible for maintenance and storage.
How to shop in person at a Home Health Depot store
Walk into any Home Health Depot location during business hours. Staff can show you different products, explain how they work, and help you find the right size or model for your needs. You can try out walkers, wheelchairs, and other mobility aids to see how they feel before buying.
Bring your insurance card if you have one and think your insurance might cover the item. If you have a prescription from your doctor, bring that too — it helps staff understand what you need and may be required for insurance coverage. You can pay with cash, debit, or credit card at checkout.
If the store does not have an item in stock, staff can usually order it for you and have it delivered to your home or held at the store for pickup.
How to order online from Home Health Depot
Visit the Home Health Depot website and browse by category — mobility, wound care, daily living, respiratory, and so on. Click on a product to see the full description, price, and available sizes or colors. Add items to your cart and proceed to checkout.
At checkout, enter your shipping address and choose a delivery method. Standard shipping takes longer but costs less; expedited shipping is faster but more expensive. Enter your payment information and confirm your order. You will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number once your order ships.
If you have questions about a product before ordering, you can call the store or use the website's contact form. Some locations offer same-day or next-day delivery in their service area, though this depends on where you live.
What to do if you need help choosing equipment
Home Health Depot staff are trained to help you find the right product, but they cannot diagnose your condition or prescribe equipment. If you are unsure what you need, talk to your doctor or physical therapist first — they can recommend specific items and write a prescription if insurance coverage is needed.
Bring that recommendation or prescription to the store, and staff can show you options that match what your doctor suggested. If you are ordering online and have questions, call the store's customer service line before placing your order.
Many people also find it helpful to read product reviews on the website or ask friends and family what they have used. Seeing equipment in person at the store is often the best way to decide, so visiting a location if one is nearby is worth the trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription to buy from Home Health Depot?
No. You can walk in and buy any item without a prescription. However, if you want your insurance to cover the cost, your doctor usually needs to write a prescription first. Check with your insurance company about their specific requirements.
Does Home Health Depot accept Medicare?
Yes, many Home Health Depot locations accept Medicare for items that Medicare covers. Bring your Medicare card and a prescription from your doctor. Not all items are covered, and coverage rules vary, so call ahead or ask staff in the store what your Medicare plan may cover.
Can I return or exchange items I buy?
Return and exchange policies vary by location. Most stores allow returns within a certain timeframe if the item is unused and in original packaging. Call your local store or check their website for their specific policy before buying.
What if I need equipment delivered quickly?
Some Home Health Depot locations offer same-day or next-day delivery in their service area. Call your nearest store to ask what delivery options are available in your area and whether they can meet your timeline.
Can Home Health Depot help me with insurance paperwork?
Staff can explain what information your insurance company needs and may help you gather it, but they cannot submit claims or determine your coverage. You or your doctor will need to contact your insurance company directly to start the coverage process.
