Summary
Supplies and accessories needed for durable medical equipment during rental periods are included in the rental reimbursement and cannot be billed separately. The state is reviewing claims from July 2012 through December 2014 for recoupment of inappropriately paid supply charges during equipment rental periods.
Action Required
Immediately: Stop billing supplies and accessories separately during DME rental periods - these are included in rental reimbursement. Review all current DME rental claims to ensure no separate supply billing. Update billing system rules to prevent separate supply charges during equipment rental periods. Expect potential recoupment for inappropriately billed supplies from July 2012-December 2014.
