No kidding. In my experience even the most aboveboard DME vendors very aggressively push replacement of consumable components/supplies on the absolute minimum schedule allowed by insurance. They make a performance of confirming that you're ordering things that actually need to be replaced, but it's blatantly obvious (even to me, a person who largely sucks at reading social cues and verbal subtext) that the rep is just reading it off of a script to cover the company's ass.
