DME Billing Coverage Limitations And
Exclusions  
  • Durable medical equipment (DME) billing is an
    essential aspect of revenue cycle management in
    the healthcare industry. As the industry evolves,
    DME has grown in importance and now serves
    millions of patients. However, managing the
    billing processes and reimbursements associated
    with DME can be time-consuming and
    labor-intensive.
  • DME billing is becoming more of an administrative
    burden for healthcare providers as regulatory
    requirements continue to grow. In fact, the DME
    billing process is prone to numerous mistakes and
    errors due to such complexities. If not addressed
    properly, these errors can result in claim
    denials or rejections, resulting in significant
    losses for the DME provider.

  • What is DME Billing?
  • The process of generating and submitting claims
    for the durable medical equipment provided is
    called DME billing. However, DME billing does not
    cover equipment or devices that are used for
    convenience rather than a medical need of the
    patient.
  • What is DME Coding?
  • DME billing companies, data analysts, and coding
    specialists submit insurance claims using HCPCS
    (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System)
    codes. This DME coding system contains a list of
    all the codes used in DME billing services. These
    codes aid in the tracking of supplies and
    equipment given to patients. As a result,
    Medicare and other insurers can process health
    insurance claims more efficiently. HCPCS code
    E0639, for example, denotes a moveable patient
    lift system.

DME Billing Coverage Conditions
  • When a patient has DME benefits and the equipment
    is recommended by a healthcare professional to
    treat or diagnose a long-term disease or illness,
    and the equipment is not otherwise excluded in
    the patient benefit plan document or history.
  • DME must not be consumable or disposable for DME
    billing unless absolutely necessary for the
    effective use of covered DME.
  • In the absence of disease, illness, or
    disability, the patient cannot use DME.
  • For outpatient use in home settings, DME must be
    provided or ordered by healthcare professionals.
  • DME must only be used for medical uses or medical
    purposes.
