These benefits are provided for the least expensive equipment of its type that meets the member's needs. If Blue Cross Blue Shield determines that the member chose durable medical equipment that costs more than what is needed for the medical condition, this health plan will provide benefits only for those charges that would have been paid for the least expensive equipment that meets the member's needs. In this case, the member pays the provider's charges that are more than the claim payment.
