Hello-
I am in Connecticut, in an internal medicine office. We have some medical supplies here in the office that patients may need.
Example: They may see the Physician for carpal tunnel, the Physician may suggest to the patient a wrist splint which we have in the office. Can we charge and/or bill the patient for these supplies? We also have, cervical collars, finger splints, ace bandages, etc..
We have a list with prices for our office, we have billed patients in the past, however the issue was just brought up that we may not be able to be charging/billing the patients? (due to Durable medical supply coverage? does it depend on the patients insurance?)
Does anyone know anything regarding this matter? I would appreciate feedback!
Thanks-
Jackie
