Know your DME HCPCS Codes

Your DME coders need the right HCPCS codes in addition to the right modifiers, which are used to provide additional information about the equipment, for DME medical billing. The insurance company may reject your claims if your medical coders are unable to apply modifiers or do not use them correctly. RR stands for renting; UE for used equipment purchase; and NU for new equipment buy are a few examples of popular DME modifiers. Recognize the DME HCPCS Codes.

Medical coders will be required to provide ICD-10 codes for a patient’s diagnosis when a laboratory requirement or request for DME is being fulfilled.

A modifier is often required for many HCPCS codes in order to use the correct code for the DME item. Additional information on the DME item is provided by modifiers. For instance. The modification may inform HMSA if an item is new, rented, or rented with a cap. Modifiers distinguish the month of rental being billed for capped rents.

The claim will be denied if your billers apply these modifiers improperly. Bill your claims in sequential order and indicate the first-month rental by adding the relevant modifier number to expedite the claims procedure.
