DME Billing
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) as the name suggests is medical equipment that is intended for the use at home for the medical conditions or illnesses that require a repeated use of that medical equipment.
What Does it Include?
Durable medical equipment includes medical items that are reusable, prescribed by a doctor and is not useful for those who are not ill or disabled. Some of the medical items which fall into the category of DME are wheelchairs (manual and electric), traction equipment, crutches, walkers, kidney machines, prosthesis, etc.
After the doctor prescribes a DME to a patient, the insurer should pay for it so the medical service can be provided. In some cases, the doctor possesses in his office DME items which make his services broader and better.
Providing DME items to the patients can be a source of revenue for the medical practice as well as a valuable service for patients. Nevertheless, physicians should be aware of the rules for managing DME items. Before the doctor issues a DME to a patient he has to check the patient`s eligibility and the policies and procedures of his insurance company.
