Other Ways to Combat the Challenges of DME Billing

Frequent Eligibility Verification

Policies change constantly. Eligibility should be checked once an order is received and prior to delivery. It's important to understand how leveraging patient eligibility verification helps staff have deep insights into coverage limitations with each patient / claim.

Coding & Regulatory Accuracy

The Challenge: Constantly Shifting HCPCS/ICD-10 Codes. With regular CMS updates, using outdated codes or incorrect modifiers leads to immediate claim rejections and lost revenue. Noble*Direct Solution: Embedded Compliance Logic. The software is pre-loaded with current DME-specific codes and prompts users if a claim is incomplete or missing a required modifier, ensuring "clean claims" on the first try.

Revenue Cycle & AR Management

Many providers struggle to track which claims are sitting in "Pending" or "Denied" status, leading to thousands of dollars in uncollected revenue. Use Noble*Direct's workflow management (flow control) to understand where patients / claims sit within your business.
