There are more “miscellaneous” and rarely used codes involved, making it especially difficult for medical staff to stay aware of all the unique requirements for coding and billing.

Unique Challenges of Medical Billing for Durable Medical Equipment
Because it is different from other aspects of medical care, which generally deal with diagnosis and treatment, DME billing services for durable medical equipment has its own codes and many payer rules. These are just a few of the things that make billing for equipment complex
How is DME billing different from other medical billing?
It provides rentals in e-commerce stores and requires HCPCS codes. Upon receiving a health policy, HCMCS identifies items that have been invoiced or services offered. HCPCS codes E0607 refer to the blood pressure test in a household or workplace.
Rental Requirements
Some equipment must be rented rather than purchased, and some may be purchased after a set time of being rented. Payers and insurers may have differing requirements and, of course, require documentation—which medical providers are expected to submit.
Custom Items
Certain things, such as specialty wheelchairs and foot orthotics, are customized and have additional billing requirements, such as submitting a factory invoice and complete description, which must be submitted with a paper claim so all pieces are submitted together.
Manufacturer Warranties
When equipment needs to be repaired or replaced, if it is under warranty, the manufacturer must take care of it. The provider may only bill the payer after the warranty expires, which requires providers to be aware of the status of the warranty.
