Billing Part B Drugs to DME MACs During COVID-19 Pandemic - Dispensing Amounts

Department of Health Care Services 

COVID-19 Update

We know how impactful the current outbreak is on providers of homecare services. The value and importance of your services has never been greater.

 

DHCS has submitted an extensive waiver request to CMS to waive a host of current requirements that impact the provision of DME and supplies. Those include face to face, utilization issues, place of service and more. It is an extensive list and we have not yet seen a reply but are confident that it will be granted.

 

AAHomecare has submitted a request to CMS to waive additional requirements as to audits, waive implementation of next round of CB, continue blended Medicare rates and more.

 

AAHomecare, VGM and Team@Work are also hosting a free Webinar this Friday, March 20th with information on home delivery, billing and sales in a COVID-19 environment. 

It is scheduled for 2:30 PM Eastern/11:30 AM Pacific. 

Here is the registration link, and here's a promotional video about it.

 

Everything is very fluid and likely there will be federal legislative action that could impact provision of services and reimbursement.
