Most rental equipment is billed monthly. Some preset exceptions allow for select equipment to be billed bi-weekly, weekly and daily. Rental charges are invoiced on the same schedule as the equipment rental.
Bellevue Healthcare offers a convenient and secure online Payment Portal to manage view your invoices, make payments, or update your contact or billing information.

In a capped rental ownership of the equipment is transferred over the renter once a specific set of conditions are met. Usually this is a predetermined time period of renting making when the total rental payments has met or surpassed the amount of purchasing the equipment outright.
If no insurance is involved, self pay rental equipment may cap, and will cap at a cost greater than the standard retail purchase price of the item.
Example:
Rental deluxe wheelchair rents for $55/month (before tax).
This rental caps after 5 months.
Total out-of-pocket cost for the chair would be $275 (before tax).
Purchasing the same chair new would be $220 (before tax).
All rental payments may be applied to the purchase price of the equipment being rented.
