Durable Medical Equipment
Overcome your DME billing obstacles and enhance revenue generation by partnering with VLMSHealthcare.com.
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) encompasses any device that delivers therapeutic benefits to patients suffering from certain medical conditions or illnesses. To qualify for coverage, DME must be deemed medically necessary, prescribed by a healthcare professional, and authorized in advance. DME billing distinguishes itself from standard medical billing due to its complexity, requiring specialized knowledge of HCPCS Level II codes and a thorough understanding of the DME reimbursement procedures.
The complexity of DME billing presents unique challenges. With a trend towards
renting rather than purchasing costly medical equipment, it is critical for billers and
coders to master:
-
Coding claims based on rental or purchase status
-
Billing requirements and
-
Timely claim submission for accurate reimbursement.

VLMSHealthcare.com’s DME Revenue Cycle Management Process
We proficiently handle your backend operations, ensuring first-time claim approvals for quicker collections.
Step 1
A healthcare provider identifies a DME requirement essential for specialized patient
care. Proper documentation must be prepared to establish medical necessity. We
streamline the claim submission process by compiling all necessary medical review
documents, thereby minimizing delays.
Step 2
Following a provider's prescription for specific DME, the patient must acquire their
equipment from a DME supplier. Our team verifies eligibility and secures prior
authorization (if necessary) for the usage of the DME supplies. Once the
documentation is finalized and approved, the DME supplier equips the patient with
the necessary apparatus.
Step 3
Our professionals then allocate the appropriate HCPCS Level II codes and process
the DME claims with the patient’s insurance provider. We ensure every component
and accessory of the equipment is accurately coded, and all requisite paperwork is
submitted to the insurer to secure payment of the DME claim.
Step 4
Our accounts receivable management team diligently follows up on the claim to
ensure timely and correct payments are made.
