Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Billing at just 8 USD per hour – A great offering by 24/7 Medical Billing Services
Press Release (ePRNews.com) - USA - Jul 13, 2020 - In today’s world of advanced medical technology, the increasing rate of chronic diseases is a key factor for the expansion of the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Billing market across the globe. In addition to this, the increasing growth rate of the aged population is another reason for the surge in DME billing. Aged individuals are more prone and susceptible to health disorders and problems such as heart diseases, diabetes, kidney failure, arthritis, and many others. This has resulted in the creation of a separate market for various DME products and equipment such as crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, traction and trapeze equipment, hospital beds, oxygen and respiratory equipment, patient lifts, infusion equipment and supplies and several others.
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) billing is quite different and unique from medical billing and other coding procedures. DME billing is a highly complicated and intricate process. It requires extensive, in-depth, and robust knowledge about the DME process, industry mandates, and all the HCPCS level II codes. All Durable Medical Equipment and products are categorized under the HCPCS level II codes. Since expensive medical equipment needs to be purchased, DME billing and coding specialists need to be aware of how to code claims accurately and the timing of claims submission to get the proper reimbursements.
DME billing and coding process :
• Medical practitioner prescribes the necessary medical equipment for the patient.
• Documentation of the patient information and key details.
• Preparation of documents for claims submission citing the reasons why the medical equipment is prescribed to the patient.
• Stringent eligibility check and pre authorization to find out whether the patient is applicable.
• Required permission from the insurer is initiated.
• Initiation of the coding process. This involves identifying the correct HCPCS Level II codes from the HCPCS manual.
• Stringent checks are performed to ensure that every accessory and part of the equipment is correctly coded.
• Once the coding stage is completed, the DME billing company files the claim along with the necessary paperwork to ensure that the insurance company pays the right amount to the healthcare service provider.
• Frequent follow-up on the claims by the DME billing company.
Challenges and problems in DME billing and coding
DME billing and coding can become highly challenging and demanding if you don’t have skilled and experienced billers and coders. There are several complexities and challenges associated with DME billing. Some of these include gathering and compilation of proper patient data, patient validation, obtaining authorizations, use of the correct forms for claim submission, and HIPPA compliance.
1) Use of redundant and obsolete software
Lack of proper knowledge about the latest DME billing software and use of old backdated software results in unsuccessful billing.
2) Lack of proper documentation
The DME billing process is quite tedious and exhaustive. This is why many billers miss on minute details in the documentation resulting in claim denials.
3) Incompetent resources
Most healthcare providers hire limited DME billers and coders since it is extremely extensive to have a huge team onboard. Working with limited team strength will increase the burden and workload on them. Too much pressure and limited time affects their productivity and efficiency as well, which may lead to errors in the DME billing process.
