Medical Billing DME
I publish this article on my blog because many had been asking me for an answer – “Who are exempted from the DMEPOS from accreditation and/or surety bond?” for medical billing DME
This article will focus only on Physicians/Non-Physician Practitioners and PT/OT Services Providers:
According to the current guideline, the following are exempted:
1. Physicians
2. Physician Assistants
3. CRNA
4. Registered Nutritionists and Dieticians
5. Certified Midwife
6. Clinicial Social Worker
7. Clinical Psychologist
**** But you need to be guided that items are provided and rendered to your own patients as a part of your own services!
The Occupational and Physical Therapists are also Exempted from the accreditation process and surety bond only if ….
1. The PT/OT solely own and operates the business office;
2. You provide and rendered the items/services only to your own patients as
part of professional services rendered;
3. You can only bill for orthotics, prosthetics and supplies.
Additionally, I know that CHIROPRACTORS are NOT exempted from accreditation.
Kindly see chart below which I have uploaded from =>> http://www.palmettogba.com/ncs and is last updated August 2009.
As far as I know, there are no new changes on this guideline.
