About US

Life DME was established in 2007 to serve the community of Northwest Indiana in the arena of respiratory equipment, specifically oxygen therapy, sleep apnea equipment, and non-invasive ventilators.

Life DME guarantees a pleasant customer experience as we maintain strong ties with hospitals, physicians, and sleep labs. This is based on our high-quality patient care, up-to-date equipment, and constant, effective communication amongst patients, DME, and physician offices.


Our staff is well versed in the arena of respiratory care. We have a team of 3 full-time respiratory therapists who work closely with each patient to ensure that they realize the necessity of using this equipment to ease your symptoms and attain a better quality of life while on COPD, sleep apnea, or chronic respiratory failure treatment. On the back end, our Patient Coordinators have two main tasks. They work with physician offices and hospitals to provide smooth in-take and follow-up processes, and they also work with insurance companies to ensure that bills successfully go through the insurance company of the patient.


Life DME has invested in a client-centric approach through monitoring patient compliance, continuously engaging with patients even after providing our services, and developing an order intake system.
In 2019, Life DME became the first local DME distributor for the FreeStyle Libre Continuous Glucose Monitor in Northwest Indiana.

Vision

As a small local business, we prefer quality over quantity, which is why we focus on individual patient needs (value-based business) rather than creating a volume-based care environment.
