I would think that yes, depending on your payer contract and whether or not you have a DME supplier number, you can bill the BP monitor to the insurance. But again, you probably have to have a DME supplier number, and it has to be in your contract. I am assuming that this was given to the patient to keep and not just a loaner for a specified time period.
I am basing this on my GYN experience with other DME equipment, as I do not code for your field, but I believe that the same rules apply. If in doubt, contact the payer.
hope this helps,
