Michelle, I actually did reply to her question regarding software. I just don't "recommend" any particular one since I never know the specifics on what a person needs. I generally agree to GO WEB BASED!! Thats my basic criteria. Yes you can bill DME out of any PM software however you do come across other issues. There are specifics required for certain DME equipment that DME software addresses. We are required to attach narratives for repairs and labor, and also send the CMN to Medicare. When dealing with commercial insurance the PM software works just fine. A narrative is also required for any K0108 codes. The narrative must include the description of the item, mfg name, retail prices, brief statement of medical necessity. If the code does not have an allowable you have to send a narrative (e2399, e2609 etc) Replacement parts/repairs have to include the hcpcs code of the type of chair, the date w/c was purchased/ who purchased it. Labor you must include amount of time being billed, hcpcs code of chair being repaired, date wc was purchased. We also have the recurring orders (rentals) that have to be entered. This is something that DME software has built in specifically. Also the ability to send the CMN's, print the Physicians order. Here is a link to one of the DME software programs that I use. Look at the screen shot for orders. http://teamdme.com/ Now like most PM software programs they offer features that may not be needed with Billing Services. I don't want scheduling, don't plan to do scheduling for any provider. TeamDME also offers inventory (specific to the provider, not the biller) I have been looking for a PM software program that would actually allow me to do fully DME billing. The system I am using now, I am working with them in regards to upgrading the capabilities to do full DME.
Billing for a walker, cane, or even shoes is DME billing, but when you get into custom Rehab, Power mobility, beds etc. the requirements are different.

I would like to know what type of software she uses now, and has she ever seen medical billing software.

Hi Charlene,
Sorry it took a while for me to respond. The system that we use at work is Pacware/Pacwin. It is not web based at all. Sometimes it is hard to send to commercial electronically so we have to end up sending paper

Oh God, don't I know it. TeamDME is server based as well.
