Medicines, Medical Devices, and Medical Supplies

PIPP covers the costs of over-the-counter and prescription medicines and medical supplies--for example, bandages, ointments and dressings--that you require because of the accident injuries.

Please remember to provide legible copies of your receipts when you claim reimbursement for medical device expenses, medicines and medical supplies.

We also cover the costs of purchasing, renting, repairing, replacing, fitting or adjusting devices that are medically required and prescribed because of the accident injuries. Devices covered include eyeglasses, hearing aids, back supports, special footwear, crutches, and artificial limbs.

If the device wears out from normal use, we'll pay for its repair or replacement. Repair or replacement required through neglect, misuse, or willful damage, isn't covered.

Jason's right leg was severed above the knee in a car accident. PIPP will cover the cost of purchasing an artificial leg and will continue to pay for the repair and replacement of the artificial leg.

PIPP also covers the cost of repairing, replacing or adjusting a device that you had before the accident and that was damaged or lost in the accident or that no longer meets your needs because of the accident injuries. This is one-time replacement coverage.
