Overview Medicare Compliance Case Studies F.A.Q.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) suppliers have an on-going challenge of meeting CMS compliance reporting requirements and the new National Patient Safety Goal.  Suppliers must be able to document regular and consistent contact with their customers to confirm demographic, insurance and physician data as well as confirming that the equipment is in good working order and still be used by the customer.  For those patients using oxygen equipment, Suppliers need to document their assessment of presence and use of smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and emergency escape plans.

The effort to comply is costly. A medium sized supplier needs a full time employee to manually monitor and document their compliance. If a supplier undergoes a Medicare audit the costs of gathering the data to prove compliance can be extensive. Obviously, the inability to document Medicare compliance requirements can be a very expensive problem for any DME supplier.
