DME/HME Billing Service

The term durable medical equipment (DME) refers to items that are needed to support medical needs. Typically, health insurers such as Medicare refer to these as DME benefits and they are needed if doctors say they are absolutely necessary. Some of the examples of DME billing are ambulatory aids, special hospital beds, walking sticks,  oxygen tanks, wheelchairs, special commodes, and compressors, etc

Even though the item is classified as DME, providing such items falls under HME billing, given that they are essentially home medical equipment services. HME biling services need to pay lots of attention during the claim process since one error can result in denial.

To build and operate a successful practice, physicians spend several years developing the necessary skills. Your practice also involves several operational and admin tasks such as managing appointment scheduling, billing, insurance filing, accounts payable, and managing healthcare professionals. Juggling both quality care and business needs can be a real challenge. The change in revenue cycle management (RCM) policies also hurt physicians in this financial crisis. Doctors especially have difficulty aligning their financial policies. Consequently, independent physicians and medical groups outsource physician billing services to experienced billing companies.
