Do your referrals provide you with good face-to-face documentation for DME?

Date Published: October 08 2014

Today the DME industry faces a new range of face-to-face paperwork challenges. Each day it seems Medicare criteria requirements change, which in turn demand different operational solutions. What worked a few months ago, doesn’t work today. Unfortunately this can quickly have a negative impact on your DME business. The bottom line, you can’t continue to do DME business with non-compliant and inaccurate face-to-face paperwork from your referrals.

Practitioners are expected to conduct face-to-face examinations for DME equipment and supplies; Power Mobility Equipment, Home Oxygen, CPAP and BiPAP and General DME items such as manual wheelchairs, hospital beds, support surfaces, canes, crutches and walkers, commodes, urological supplies and diabetic supplies. If the practitioner believes the patient’s medical condition warrants a certain type of DME equipment or supply, online standardized documentation tools (like DMEevalumate.com) takes them through the required process. DMEevalumate.com ensures that the user addresses all of the required information necessary for describing the patient’s medical needs and compares the answers with the medical policy requirements. If during the face-to-face exam the patient doesn’t meet part of the requirement, DMEevalumate.com alerts the practitioner of the coverage criteria and suggests the most appropriate equipment. When the practitioner is finished with the face-to-face exam, DMEevalumate.com creates the required documentation in a compliant format approved by Medicare. 

DMEevalumate.com is designed to educate the physicians and practitioners about the Medicare requirements for DME. If your referrals use DMEevalumate.com you don't have to go back and forth to the physician/practitioner asking for this or that correction. How refreshing would it be to receive the correct face-to-face referral paperwork the first time?
