La. Admin. Code tit. 40, § I-4115 - Equipment Warranty and Repair Information

A. Benefits are not provided for equipment repair or maintenance by the carrier/self-insured employer. The repair or maintenance of rented DME is the responsibility of the DME supplier at no additional charge to the claimant. The carrier/self-insured employer is responsible for DME repair and maintenance of purchased equipment (subject to warranty provisions).

B. For purchased DME, the DME supplier must provide a one-year warranty agreement to the claimant. If the warranty agreement requires some nominal monetary fee, it is billable to the carrier/self-insured employer. The DME supplier must always inform the claimant about any DME warranty provided by the manufacturer.
