Connolly posts two RAC-approved issues for DME providers
Recovery Auditor Report, September 3, 2009
Connolly, the Region C RAC, has been approved to audit Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers for two new issues:
-
Wheelchair bundling. Bundling guidelines for wheelchair bases and options/accessories indicate certain procedure codes are part of other procedure codes and, as a result, are not separately payable.
-
Urological Bundling. Certain procedure codes are part of other procedure codes and are not separately payable.
This applies to the Region C states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
