Can anyone help me find documentation on the supplies only in the ER? Our ER hands out supplies (splints, crutches, etc. ) by a prescription from a family doctor. Is there a coding rule?
Thanks,
Sue

With most carriers you need a DME number in order to bill for the distribution of supplies.

Thank you for answering, but what if you don't have that.

Then you will most likely not be paid especially by Medicare. You should use the HCPCS II codes for the supplies but without a DME number well good luck.
