Medicare and other insurance carriers have specific guidelines for documenting, dispensing, and billing for Durable Medical Equipment. Numerous healthcare facilities face financial challenges due to inadequate DME management processes. New documentation guidelines for DME, along with Local Coverage Determinations for government payors like Medicare, outline the medical necessity criteria for reimbursement of these items. By understanding these requirements and establishing an efficient office process, healthcare facilities can turn DME dispensing into a profitable endeavor.
