Wiki DME Billing

[youngva462@gmail.com]

My providers office is just starting out on DME for our patients. It has been difficult to find beginner level information on this topic. I think I've got most of it figured out except the very first step.

Does our provider office bill for the DME or does the supplier? I know we need documentation in the chart supporting the need for and continued use of the DME. But, I don't understand if we put the DME on our claim or if only the supplier of the equipment does.

We have stock we get from a supplier, but our office bills out for those claims.

I work for a DME company. The providers send us the orders to set up the patients and we bill for the supplies under the ordering provider's NPI.
