The DME billing process begins with verifying the patient's eligibility for Durable Medical Equipment coverage. This involves confirming insurance details, checking the patient's coverage status, and ensuring that the prescribed equipment meets the criteria for reimbursement.

The next step involves verifying the completeness and accuracy of the medical documentation, including the prescription for the durable medical equipment.

This ensures that claims are submitted with the correct information, reducing the risk of denials and delays.
