Tracheostomy - Granted Items by NOPHS

The insured of the funds under the NOPHS are entitled to a series of necessary materials for the Tracheostomy situation, free of charge. More specifically, the organization grants the following:

• Up to 5 pieces of plastic Tracheostomy tubes per month or up to 2 metal tracheotubes per year. Their necessity is confirmed every four months
• Tracheostomy supports, 1 package per month
• T-shaped tracheostomy filters up to 30 pieces per month
• Suction catheters up to 90 pieces per month
• Sterile tracheostomy gauzes up to 60 pieces per month

In case of mechanical respiratory support at home, for patients with a tracheostomy, the Organization grants and reimburses up to three (3) disposable ventilator circuits and up to six (6) antimicrobial humidification-heating filters per month.

As far as the procedure is concerned, the insured must obtain an electronic prescription from a contracted doctor of the EOPYY, which must record the condition and be stamped by a medical examiner. The prescription can have a monthly, two-month or three-month duration. The insured then contact a contracted provider of the Organization to obtain the items without any financial participation.
