RE: From Sig / MEDICARE DOES PAY CHIROPRACTORS FOR DME

[Guest guest]

Listees,

Below you will see a message I saw on the listserve recently that just tweaked my "red flag" button. So I did a little checking. A DC can indeed become a medicare DME supplier but only as a SUPPLIER, not as a DC. ANYONE can become a supplier. For reimbursement the DME item must be a covered item, there must be medical necessity, AND (and this is a bigee) it must be ORDERED by an approved provider (translate: MD, DO, etc., NOT a DC). Then, if approved, you can bill for DME but as a SUPPLIER, NOT as a DC. If you too have seen this message I felt a little clarification was in order.

Supplying patients with DME can be an excellent overall approach to patient care in your practice. If you are like most busy healthcare professionals, you do not have the time to fill out extensive forms and applications and you do not want to spend time on the phone following up on the status of your application…this is where we help expedite the process. It takes approximately 3-4 months to be become an authorized DME supplier so we recommend you get started right away.Click here to get started - http://www.targetcoding.com/pdf/Target%20Coding%20-%20DME%20instructions%20and%20order%20form%20-%202010.pdf Click here for more information - http://www.targetcoding.com/dme-compliance.phpTARGET CODING - 800.270.7044 – www.TargetCoding.com - email info@... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------To be unsubscribed from the mailing list simply click on the link below: http://www.chiroviewpresents.org/cgi-chiroviewpresents/smpro/s.pl?r=1 & l=92 & e=kjholzdc=:juno.comAOL USERS:<a href="http://www.chiroviewpresents.org/cgi-chiroviewpresents/smpro/s.pl?r=1 & l=92 & e=kjholzdc=:juno.com">One-Click Unsubscribe Link Here</a>
