Dedicated devices are devices that are configured to meet the funding requirements of Medicare, Medicaid and most other funding sources. Dedicated devices mean that the device is "locked down" and unable to access various features of the device. Features that are disabled in dedicated devices include access to the Windows/iOS/Android "desktop," calculators, calendars, music players, etc. (features vary by device).
Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance clients can "unlock" their device (add the "integrated feature pack") for $15 after the device is received. Unlock your device.
Medicare clients: You will also be required to submit a signed Advanced Beneficiary Notification (ABN) with your payment. For more information or to request an ABN, please contact the PRC-Saltillo Funding Department at (800) 268-5224 or Email: funding@prc-saltillo.com.
Non-Medicare clients: To unlock your device, please click here to receive the unlock code immediately: Unlock your device. Or you can contact the PRC-Saltillo Order Management Department at (800) 262-1933 or Email: sales@prc-saltillo.com to pay the one-time $15 fee.
Self-pay customers can "unlock" their device at the time of purchase by selecting the "integrated feature pack" option available on Accent®/PRiO®/TouchChat® Express/Via Pro devices, or selecting the "Standard" or "Plus" model on NovaChat® devices.
