According to CMS regs it looks to me the DOS should be the date the beneficiary receives the supplies NOT the invoice date? Am I correct? Or am I reading more into it than I should be? Here is what I am referring to from CMS website:
"The date delivered on the POD must be the date that the DMEPOS item was received by the beneficiary or designee. The date of delivery may be entered by the beneficiary, designee or the supplier. When the supplier?s delivery documents have both a supplier-entered date and a beneficiary or beneficiary?s designee signature date on the POD document, the beneficiary or beneficiary?s designee-entered date is the date of service. In instances where the supplies are delivered directly by you, the date the beneficiary received the DMEPOS supply must be the date of service on the claim."
Can someone explain this to me so I understand it a little better? All help is appreciated. Thank you.
