Anybody know how Medicare handles ostomy supplies? Do they fall under part AB or C? Any tips on this? Thank you.

In AZ my Medicare A pays 80%, DME Durable Medical Equipment, then B (AARP) pays remaining %20 after deductible.  I recently was told that I only needed one prescription on file  for continuous coverage unlike Diabetes supplies with is a constant update headache.  Now, as usual with Medicare every rep on the phone tells you different information.  But his is my experience after years of dealing with Medicare and DME.

54 years Type 1 Diabetes, insulin pump, CGM, neurological complications, retinopathy, and autoimmune CIDP. Nerve damage led to ileostomy in 1/2015.
