The durable medical equipment billing industry is undergoing perennial renovation, thanks to the ever-changing regulatory compliance landscape. Staying current with the shifting DME billing landscape is a significant challenge, which is why outsourcing durable medical equipment billing services are the go-to thought for most DME companies.

If neglected, all existing problems can compound leading to slow productivity and revenue. If you are troubled by these challenges, outsourcing DME billing services to us is the safest choice to stay focussed on your core competencies. We work round-the-clock to bring you higher reimbursements and better cash flow.
What is DME?
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is a therapeutic equipment that is prescribed by licensed physicians to patients who suffer from certain medical condition or illness. Equipment used for convenience or beyond reasonable medical needs of a patient is not covered by DME billing. Nebulizers, ventilators, kidney machines, etc., are an excellent example of durable medical equipment. DME are mostly intended for therapeutic benefits for patients suffering from long-term medical conditions. It may or may not be beneficial to people without ailment. All DME is highly durable for an extended period of operation (mostly for home usage).
What is the DME Code?
Our pricing, data analysts, and coding (PDAC) specialists use customized durable medical equipment coding system (DMECS). This system is a directory of all codes used in DME services. It is helpful for distributors and suppliers to efficiently keep track of the billed services so that claims can be fast-tracked. However, it is important to note that DMECS is not a substitute for HCPCS releases. An Example of DME equivalent of HCPCS code for CPAP is HCPCS code E0601.
The modifier for this code is -
RR - rental
KH - first-month rental, and Initial claim
KX - documentation to support medical necessity
What is a DME Billing Service?
After coding the invoice, it is necessary to compile the documents catalog and records for electronic claims submission. However, before submission, it is crucial to check if the documentation is complete and accurate. Missing documents and non-compliance are among many reasons for delay or denial of payment. A billing company like ours pays close attention to the quality of documentation to ensure a clean claim as well as lower DSO and denials.
DME Medical Billing Services We Offer
Lower reimbursements can be bad for revenue cycle management especially when the cost of durable medical equipment is expensive. Unless we take radical steps in quality control, the problems will continue to manifest themselves. We check policy compliances to guarantee completeness and accuracy of claims to avoid attracting audit. We keenly look for discrepancies and rectify unresolved errors. We offer the following as part of our DME billing solutions -
Data Capture
With a goal to eliminate fatal and non-fatal document errors, we appoint trained professionals to closely work with providers. Our billing professionals will patiently collaborate with your team to obtain information relevant for insurance companies. We meticulously collect and analyze the privacy-compliant data from your end. This data is securely held in our database for easy retrieval and error-free billing.
Practice Statements
We send routine statements that are crisp and accurate by summarizing the practice and facility. We check statements for errors before dispatching the copy via email.
Denial Management
Payment discrepancies are hard to resolve without expert help and knowledge of carrier-specific claims guidelines. If the reimbursed value is lesser than your expectation, our DME medical billing services will come to your aid. If you are underpaid or denied payment altogether due to non-compliance, we rectify the flaw and file appeal to ensure you are correctly reimbursed without being subjected to further ordeal.
Claims Filing Assistance
Claims filing is often overlooked as a straightforward process that needs nothing more than handling form fill outs. On the contrary, it is a crucial step that contributes to the speed of claims processing. We reorder invoices and claim documents as per the insurance carrier's preference because each carrier follows a unique standard while accepting documents from the claims initiator. After ensuring completeness of the digital and paper documents, we file claims electronically in the format recommended by your insurer.

We generate custom reports on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis depending on your practice requirements. Our reports can shed light on DME billing services availed by your clients with descriptions as well as analysis of your practice's financial performance.

The reports can be generated based on custom parameters that facilitate quick retrieval.
Payment Posting and Auditing
Once we collect explanations and payments from your clients, every detail is reviewed in-depth to ensure correctness. After making sure the data is error-free and valid we update the values in our database for record-keeping. We also communicate the explanation of benefits (EOB) to you so that the reimbursed amount can be compared and reconciled with our records from your end.
Fee Schedule Update
We collaborate with insurance companies to set up and routinely update fee schedules. Our team negotiates fee schedules with insurance companies by considering the annual inflation and median cost of living. Additionally, we keep track of aging reports by frequent follow-ups. We stay in touch with insurance companies after submission to ensure a quick turnaround.
