3. When invoicing or payment for services is not in accordance with the written policy, it is considered a policy violation. • DME claims sent to Medicaid rather than Medicare or another primary insurance plan. • Medicaid is considered the payer of last resort, so payment should be sought from other insurance first.

4. Errors in code are another major cause. The claim will be refused if your billing team submits medical documentation with different codes than the ones billed. Typical coding related challenges are – Using HCPCS codes incorrectly to drive a diagnostic related group (DRG) For trauma and fracture diagnosis codes, the seventh character is incorrectly applied. 2. Respiratory failure is misdiagnosed. Using guidance tools incorrectly Inadequate documentation of devices, components, grafting materials, etc Coding Errors inquiry@infohubservices.comhttps://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441

5. When a provider’s documentation does not fully support the billed procedure code, it comes under the insufficient documentation error. Common DME claim documentation errors include: Medical Necessity – It is critical that the evidence demonstrates the treatments billed were medically necessary under Medicare’s coverage and payment policies. Use of Modifiers – Incorrectly employed modifiers for DME billing can result in claims being denied or rejected. Even a misplaced code can result in a claim denial. Verification of Patient Data – A common factor is a lack of patient data verification. Claims are denied by the CMS or the insurance provider if there are minor errors in names, or the way forms are filled out.

7. Quality control on beneficiary records • Confirm if beneficiary has other insurance as a major payer. • Determine a beneficiary identifier on each document. • Double-check the documentation accurately so it reflects the type of DME and quantity delivered. • Check the quantity of units billed as part of the claims processing quality control. • Confirm the procedure or service code is correct, along with the service dates entered on the documentation. • Ensure the claim’s number of units and product description match the documentation’s number of units and product description.
