Why You Need Our DME Specialists

DME claims fail at a far higher rate than standard medical claims. The rules around rental conversions, Certificates of Medical Necessity, competitive bidding areas, and Medicare Part B documentation are uniquely complex. General billing services often miss these nuances. We don't.

Certificate of Medical Necessity Management

Missing or incomplete CMNs are the #1 reason DME claims get denied by Medicare. Our team tracks CMN expiration dates, manages renewal workflows, and ensures every form is physician-signed and attached before a claim ever goes out the door.

Capped Rental & Purchase Conversion Tracking

Medicare's rental rules for items like oxygen concentrators and power wheelchairs follow a strict 13-month cap before ownership transfers. We monitor every rental's lifecycle and trigger the correct billing transition automatically, no missed milestones, no overpayments.

Competitive Bidding Area Compliance

CMS's Durable Medical Equipment Competitive Bidding Program affects reimbursement rates and supplier eligibility in specific zip code regions across Utah. Our billers know which equipment categories and areas fall under CBA rules and submit claims at the correct contracted rates every time.

Our Full-Spectrum DME Billing Services

From the moment a physician writes an order to the day the final payment posts, we manage every touchpoint of your revenue cycle.

HCPCS Level II Coding

Every piece of equipment — from a standard rollator to a custom power wheelchair — maps to specific Level II HCPCS codes with modifiers that determine your payment rate. Our certified coders know the difference between KX, GA, GY, and GZ modifiers and apply them correctly to protect your reimbursement and avoid audits.

Prior Authorization

High-cost items like power mobility devices require prior authorization from Medicare and most commercial payers before delivery. We submit detailed PA packages, including physician notes, functional assessments, and face-to-face encounter documentation, to get approvals before equipment leaves your warehouse.

Eligibility & Benefits Verification

We verify every patient's active coverage, deductible status, DME benefit limits, and whether their plan requires a network supplier before equipment is dispatched. This single step eliminates the most common and most avoidable category of DME denials.

Claims Submission & Follow-Up

Our team submits electronically to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers with real-time scrubbing to catch errors before they cause rejections. Every submitted claim gets tracked through adjudication, and we follow up proactively on anything that stalls rather than waiting for an EOB to surface a problem.

Denial Management & Appeals

When a claim is denied, most in-house teams write it off or let it expire. We categorize every denial by root cause, whether it's a documentation gap, modifier error, medical necessity dispute, or payer policy issue, and build targeted appeals with the clinical evidence required to win. Our DME appeal success rate exceeds 78%.

Reporting & Compliance Monitoring

You'll have access to a live dashboard showing your claim pipeline, denial patterns, payer-by-payer collection rates, and A/R aging in real time. We also monitor CMS LCD (Local Coverage Determination) updates and DMEPOS supplier standards to keep your billing practices continuously compliant.

Common Questions from DME Suppliers

The most common culprits are missing or expired CMNs, incorrect HCPCS code and modifier combinations, insufficient medical necessity documentation, delivery confirmation gaps, and expired prior authorizations.

For items like power wheelchairs, oxygen equipment, and hospital beds, Medicare reimburses suppliers on a monthly rental basis for up to 13 months, after which ownership of the equipment transfers to the patient. Missing a monthly rental claim means losing that month's payment permanently.

Yes, and the rules are meaningfully different between the two. Medicare Part B has defined DMEPOS supplier standards, LCD policies for each equipment category, and the competitive bidding structure we've already mentioned. Commercial payers each set their own DME benefit structures, prior authorization requirements, and covered item lists.

Yes. Our revenue cycle management staff for family practice hospitals has vast experience with Utah-specific payer policies. We are familiar with approved modifier use, diagnosis, and level of care codes for chronic care claims for SelectHealth, PEHP, and University of Utah Health Plans.
