Complying with Payer-Specific SWO Requirements in DME Billing
The new Medicare guidelines went into effect on January 1, 2021. It is now necessary to communicate a Standard Written Order (SWO) to supplier before charging any durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies billing DMEPOS items. Prior to implementation of this new update requiring a SWO, a Detailed Written Order (DWO) was required. As result of the CMS-1713 Final Rule, these new standards were renamed DWO to SWO. This article provides in-depth understanding of SWO requirements & offers strategies to ensure compliance in DME billing processes. Call 1 888-502-0537
