2DME 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.

3- 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.
