Our specialized team tracks rental periods, applies the correct modifiers, and ensures adherence to POS billing guidelines, relieving your staff of administrative complexity and securing smooth, compliant claim approvals.
Customized Equipment Documentation
At Direct Innovation Services (DIS), we know that billing for custom DME—like complex rehab wheelchairs or bespoke orthotic devices—requires more than standard claims. That’s why our experts handle every detail, from clinical notes and Certificates of Medical Necessity (CMNs) to factory invoices, compiling and validating each document to guarantee fully compliant submissions with no delays or denials. We also manage prior authorizations, supplier quotations, and face‑to‑face encounter notes, ensuring adherence to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer guidelines.
DME Billing Companies Must Be Aware of Warranty Statuses
Tracking the warranty status of equipment is crucial when submitting claims for repairs or replacements. If the item is under warranty, the manufacturer — not the payer — is responsible for servicing. Providers may only bill payers if the warranty has expired, which means having a real-time inventory and warranty tracking system is essential. DIS MSO incorporates this into your billing workflow, confirming warranty eligibility before claim submission to avoid insurance rejections.
