Durable Medical Equipment (DME) as the name proposes is medical equipment that is proposed for the use at home for the medical disorders or illnesses that require a frequent use of that medical equipment. Durable medical equipment comprises medical items that are reusable, approved by a doctor and is not useful for those who are not ill or disabled. Some of the vital medical equipment that falls under the DME category are wheelchairs (manual and electric), traction kit, crutches, walkers, kidney machines, prosthesis, etc.
After the physician 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 articles to the patients can be a source of income for the medical facility and also a valuable service for patients. However, the number one priority of the DME suppliers in the US is to pay close attention to the guideline of DME medical billing and coding. One wrong code and your revenue cycle can take a toll. That’s the reason doctors should be aware of the rules for managing DME items. Before the physician issues a DME to a patient the medical billing and coding staff should check the patient`s eligibility and the policies and procedures of his insurance payer.
