BILLING FOR DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
6© GoTelecare 2014-15| All Rights Reserved Private & Confidential
DME coverage may be subject to a copay or coinsurance. Authorization is required for various DME and this varies
from payer to payer. This is considered a part of the member’s DME benefits provisions. For DME to be covered the
general billing requirements are:
 A prescription from the ordering physician dated prior to delivery date
 Certain items must be rented prior to being converted to purchase and therefore must be billed as rentals
 Consideration of limitations based on time period within which the item can be covered if supplied earlier.
E.g. CPAP machines cannot be ordered more than once every 5 years while most CPAP supplies are
available every 3 months
 Appropriate modifiers must be billed with DME
 Letter of medical necessity and additional documentation may be required for some DME, e.g. orthotics,
beds & mattresses, BiPAP machines etc. Coverage for such equipment is subject to medical review.
 Coverage of DME is also subject to qualifying diagnosis, E.g. CPAP machines – Obstructive Sleep Apnea
 Maintenance, repair, or replacement and supplies may be eligible for separate reimbursement under a
contracted maintenance fee with a DME supplier acceptable by the payer.
DME COVERAGE & BILLING
7© GoTelecare 2014-15| All Rights Reserved Private & Confidential
The billing cycle for DME involves the following activities:
 Order entry based on the Rx received from the physician
• Patient demographics & insurance entry
• Provider information entry
• Product code entry
• Rx &Dx entry (with appropriate timeframe)
• If necessary, a telemedicine consultation can be completed to obtain a Rx to expedite the order entry
process.
 Eligibility verification and auth requirement enquiry
 Collection of documents required by payer for auth approval, E.g. face to face consultation notes,
Polysomnography / Titration report etc. and obtaining of authorization from payer.
 Determination that payer criteria is met before delivery of DME, E.g. some DME have time / frequency / annual
cost limitations for DME (if criteria is not met the patient needs to be contacted and informed of the financial
responsibility)
 Generation of delivery ticket (based on which delivery is made to the patient)
 Creation of claim after receipt of confirmation of delivery
 Submission of EDI / paper claim to payers
 Cash posting
 Rejection & Denial Management
 A/R follow-up
