Hello,
I am wondering if there is CMS regulation regarding DME and the address it is delivered to, in accordance with the patient's health insurance. For example:
A Back Brace is ordered for a patient and delivered to 15 Main St, Anywhere, USA, but according to the patient's insurance, their address is 17 Park Avenue, SomewhereElse, USA. All I can find is that it needs to be signed by the pt or a beneficiary, and nothing speaking to the place of service (except if it is an assisted living home). For residential deliveries, are there guidelines?
I can't seem to find any. I fight Fraudulent DME Companies taking advantage of the elderly and I am looking to see if there are guidelines that speak to this. Thanks for any help or info you may be able to offer
