How to Reduce DME Billing Backlogs PPT
                     
HOW TO REDUCE DME BILLING BACKLOGS?
 
Have you submitted your DME claims? If yes, countdown begins! 1, 2, 3, and so on. You will 
also be counting down the days until you receive payment once your DME medical practice 
submits a claim to the payer. Of course, you must ensure you receive the payment as soon as 
possible, as delays will cost your hospital or medical institution thousands of dollars. But what 
causes your payment turnaround time to increase? Or why are there DME billing backlogs?
                 Some of the reasons are as follows:
                   Claim errors
                   Carelessness
                   Multiple denials, and
                   A missed deadline for filing

strategies that can be opted to minimize the 
DME billing backlogs:
1. Determine Denial Claims Pattern:
Denials are the leading cause of increased backlogs and aged claims. Every DME billing denial 
results from a specific reason or an error committed at a particular point. Examples of such 
errors include DME medical coding errors, failing to understand the terms and conditions of an 
insurance provider, failing to follow up with patients regarding documentation, and so on.
2. Examining Patients’ Overall Records:
It is advisable to check a patient’s insurance details and overall health record from the moment 
he or she seeks DME medical care. It will assist you in identifying any recurring claim issue that 
has previously occurred due to any once-received treatment. Identifying them can reduce the 
likelihood of experiencing the same at your health facility, resulting in lower backlogs and older 
claims.

3. Overhauling Software:
In recent years, automation software has significantly improved 
DME medical billing. DME medical billing, scribing, data entry, and AR 
department software have all benefited from technological advancements. A DME 
healthcare provider can reduce backlogs and old aging claims by updating 
software and automating processes. It will also help you to train your 
DME medical billing teams to be the best at dealing with such issues.
4. Uncollectible Claims:
It is upsetting to see stale collectible claims on their reports that have no chance 
of being recovered. For example, if you have a two-year-old claim, cannot bill the 
patient, and have no grounds to appeal. It is preferable to dismiss such DME 
claims. However, don’t forget to note why the claim became uncollectable.
5. Track down the Bills That Were Never Sent:
