Requirements to be fulfilled for DME billing:
• To check whether your DME is eligible for coverage, you need to 
provide a prescription stating rent or purchase of the equipment, 
accordingly.
• There are certain items that you can only rent and cannot 
purchase. This comes under capped rentals, and based on the 
usage of equipment, the coverage depends as well.
• The rules may vary from one insurance provider to another. 
Certain companies do not encourage straight purchase of DME, 
but some may expect the DME to be rented first and then 
purchased. So depending on whom you tie-up with, follow the 
procedure properly.
