DME Billing Inquiry

Question:

With Medicare, some of our patients come in on a different day other than the office visit to pick up their DME.  Do we use the date they pick up the DME item or the date of the office visit for billing?  

Answer:

The date of service for billing in this instance would be the date the DME is picked up (date of delivery to the patient).  

*This response is based on the best information available as of 2/29/24.
