When purchasing medical devices for personal or family use, your state may impact the overall cost of your items. While most states provide some form of sales tax exemption for medical devices, the details vary from state to state.

In general, most states provide a blanket exemption for all medical devices, or a tax exemption for medical devices prescribed by a licensed provider. However, there are some exceptions

These devices do not require a prescription from a physician in order to meet tax exempt status.

Wyoming, Nevada, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey

In the following states, medical devices may be exempt from tax within certain situations. It's important to note the specifics, as exemptions often apply based on prescription, usage, or type of device.

If you live in one of the following states, we recommend researching the specific sales tax code to see if it applies to your situation.

Georgia: Exceptions apply to DME sold or prescribed by a physician

Minnesota: Subject to tax unless sold for home use or qualified under Medicare/Medicaid

Mississippi: Exemptions for certain equipment like prosthetics, orthotics, hearing devices, etc.

Montana: Subject to tax, with the exception of certain therapeutic and prosthetic devices.

Nebraska: Prescription required for mobility devices. For DME equipment, a prescription and eligibility for the medical assistance program must be established.

New Mexico: Exempt only if delivered by a licensed practitioner and the value of the device is included in the cost of service.

Ohio: Prescription required to meet exemption, except medical oxygen equipment sold for facility use.

South Carolina: Subject to tax, with the exception of devices paid for by South Carolina or Medicare/Medicare programs. These items must also be sold by a licensed South Carolina provider.

Washington: Subject to tax, with the exemption of certain items like prosthetic devices, oxygen systems, and others.

The following states do not have any statewide sales tax on any products, including medical devices.

Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon

Understanding the tax landscape of medical devices is a single step in making an informed medical device purchase.

Reviewing your insurance coverage: Most insurances provide at least partial coverage for prescribed medical devices.

Make sure that you have all the necessary information for enrollment:

• Territory/state in which you wish to enroll
• Entity type of your organization
• Organizations address
• Exemption numbers or exemption form* (if applicable)
  
  

Note: Some state or U.S. territory exemptions are only issued by their respective taxing authorities. If you have such an exemption, you will be required to submit a copy of your certificate for enrollment. Eligible certificates include a state resale certificate, tax exemption certificate, or other acceptable proof of tax exemption for the state or US territory where the items will be shipped.

Tax doesn't generally apply to purchases made by the United States government. In order to document that a sale has been made to an agent of the U.S. government, Med Mart requires a copy of one of the following to enroll in Med Marts Tax Exemption Program:

• Federal tax ID certificate
• Certificate of exempt status or affidavit
• Government voucher

In order for the federal exemption to apply, submit a completed GSA statement. This can be done so by email at helpdesk@medmart.com.

To apply for tax-exempt status, please fill out the form below. Our team will process your request and confirm your tax exemption status in 1-2 business days.

Please keep in mind invoices cannot be adjusted to remove tax after a customer has placed an order. If you require an invoice that does not show a sales tax charge, please wait to submit your order and payment until you have received confirmation your account is tax-exempt with Med Mart Medical.
