  chairs, Walkers, or Crutches but with following a
  stringent procedure. This article can help you

• Requirements to be fulfilled for DME billing
• To check whether your DME is eligible for
  coverage, you need to provide a prescription
  stating rent or purchase of the equipment,
  accordingly.
• There are certain items that you can only rent
  and cannot purchase. This comes under capped
  rentals, and based on the usage of equipment, the
  coverage depends as well.
• The rules may vary from one insurance provider to
  another. Certain companies do not encourage
  straight purchase of DME, but some may expect the
  DME to be rented first and then purchased. So
  depending on whom you tie-up with, follow the
  procedure properly.
• You should fill the CMS-1500 claim form (version
  08/05) for claiming the DME bill.
• Provide the right HCPCS code to bill your
  relevant DME supplies. Make sure it includes but
  not limits to NU, RR, etc.
• Once you enter the procedure code, ensure you
  mention the maintenance and repair modifier
  codes.
• Before you submit all your claims, check whether
  you have provided detailed description of
  services provided.
• In case you do not have or find the right code
  for DME billing, use the code E1399 or any other
  miscellaneous HCPCS code. But while mentioning
  so, you should provide additional documentation
  for such DME claim if you enter miscellaneous
  codes.

• The documentation should contain the following
  checklists before submitting the DME claim.
• Provide neat and complete description of DME
  claim you wish to proceed.
• If you are making the claim for the first time,
  enclose the factory invoice of the item. If it is
  proper, you should also get a certificate of
  medical necessity form duly signed by the
  physician. Note that you cannot include
  catalogues or retail price listings for
  additional documentation, since it cannot be
  accepted.
• Avoid stapling the documentation to the claim
  form.
• Submit all hand-written/hard copies of initial
  claim form to confirm that all documentation
  reaches for claim at a time.
• Note that additional documentation cannot be
  transferred if you have submitted your initial
  claim electronically.
• Individual guidelines are available for every
  activity that you take up with your DME. Be it
  for purchase, rental, and reimbursement of DME,
  you should follow certain formal procedure.
  Before you purchase a DME, you should be aware
  whether it gets covered under insurance, and if
  so, you can keep documenting everything for the
  purpose of DME billing. If you opt for any DME
  add-ons or upgrades, it has a separate procedure
  for claims as well. Keep yourself updated for
  knowing latest changes or inclusions in the DME
  billing procedure in the future, which can avoid
  re submissions or mistakes while submitting the
  claim form.
