  1. DMEor durable medical equipment billing requires appropriate HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes and modifiers. These are needed for describing the items that are being billed. ForDME billing, ICD-10 diagnosis codes are also used, indicating the medical condition of the patient for which the equipment was prescribed. In DME billing, coders need accurate HCPCS codes along with modifiers that are used for providing more information about the equipment. If the coders are failing to use modifiers or using them in an incorrect manner, then the claims may get denied. Some of the common modifiers include RR- rental, UE- purchase of used equipment and NU- purchase of new equipment. When a lab requisition, request or referral for DME is being filled, coders will be needing ICD-10 codes for a patient’s diagnoses.
