  3. These rules and regulations have changed the entire outlook of the DME Medical Billing Process as impacting the DME suppliers would mean directly affecting the DME Providers. This has led to the Medicare and the Medicaid Services updating their rules in April 2020 that are pertinent to the Medicaid and Medicare policies. While these policy changes equipped the US healthcare system with the much-needed flexibility to respond quickly to the pandemic, they also impacted the DME Suppliers. The suppliers execute the claims submission process and get the authorizations that are integral parts of a DME billing process. The regulations that affect the suppliers, therefore, have a consequent impact on the overall billing process. This is why it is a necessity to outsource the DME billing process to external professionals. info@247medicalbillingservices.comhttps://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/888-502-0537

  4. Let’s look at a few of the waivers that are about to impact the DME billing process in 2021. Requirements like face-to-face interaction along with the recommendation from the doctors about the requirement of the DME equipment for the DME replacement item are waived off. DME suppliers must describe the replacement claim and document the loss or damage of the equipment. This requires time for suppliers to complete the procedures that can impact the regular DME billing process. The new requirement does not need the patient signatures and proof of delivery notes to abide by the no contact policy for the pandemic outbreak. Because of the pandemic, the suppliers must note the DME equipment delivery date and mention the inability to get the patient’s signature. These are additional steps along with the regular DME billing process. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, CMS will ensure higher payments for specific DME equipment in classified areas like non-rural and non-competitive bidding within the US pandemic period. info@247medicalbillingservices.comhttps://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/888-502-0537
