New Beginnings Recovery Homes, Inc.
Medical Equipment Program
Any person receiving Medicaid and/or Medicare and requires medical equipment, can
order that equipment through Mr. Otis J. Williams. You can complete a Medical
Equipment Requirement Form (Adobe PDF format) through the New Beginnings web
site and print it on your printer. All forms are to be faxed directly to Mr. Williams. He will
order the medical equipment. New Beginnings does not handle these forms directly.
Below, are listed some of the available items (for a complete listing see form). Keep in
mind that both Medicaid and Medicare must review these submissions before signing
off and authorizing your equipment. In some cases, some of the items can only be paid
for by Medicare – in other cases only Medicaid. To save your valuable time, submit your
order, and let Mr. Williams separate which agency pays for what.
If you are enrolled into a Home Health Care Program, the medical physician attached
to the Home Health Care Program must sign for any medical equipment that you need
and he/she must write the requisite prescription. He/she must then fax the prescription
and completed form to Mr. Williams at 1-312-277-8763.
If you are not enrolled into a Home Health Care Program, we will recommend you to an
agency that will handle enrolling you into a Home Health Care Program. The Home
Health Care Program will provide a physician, therapist and nurse for home visits.
Ordering Information – When submitting your completed forms, it is important that all of
the information be entered into the forms correctly. Incorrect submissions take a lot of
time to correct. Include:
- The name of your Primary Care Physician (PCP);
- his/her address;
- phone number.
- Your PCP must sign off on your equipment needs and
- he/she must write a prescription listing the items that you have detailed as
needing.
To submit your requests follow these steps carefully:
- Complete the Medical Equipment Requirement Sheet (MERS).
- Submit the MERS Form to the Primary Care Physician (PCP) for his/her
signature and approval;
- Request that the PCP fax the completed form along with a prescription to Mr.
Williams at 1-312-277-8763.
- The forms can be filled out on the computer and printed prior to submittal to your
Primary Care Physician for clarity. Forms must have an original signature.
Get the forms completed and submitted as quickly as possible. Use the Illinois Health
Connect Website to locate your Primary Care Physician. If you run into problems, contact
Mr. Williams and we will help you resolve the problem.
If you know anyone who requires medical equipment, Mr., Williams can be contacted
through this web site, directly via his cell phone 1-773-707-3120 or his personal email
address: Otis J Williams.
Otis J. Williams has been hired by a medical equipment provider, to refer persons who are Medicaid and/or Medicare recipients, and require
medical equipment, to this provider. As an employee of this provider, Mr. Williams is not permitted to pay ANYONE to help him, although

equipment. In this instance, New Beginnings acts in a volunteer capacity and will refer all requests directly to Mr. Williams. New Beginnings
receives no compensation in these transactions. These are Medicare Rules and Regulations.
