Post Reviewed By Expert

This post was reviewed by our Director of Clinical Excellence and Oversight.

So you just received a prescription for medical supplies, and it’s time to file the insurance claim. But now you face a new challenge: Understanding all the insurance requirements you need to meet. Physican’s orders, CMNs, LOMNs…what do these all mean?

Trying to figure it out on your own can feel impossible. But don’t worry; translating all that “foreign language” is one of the things that we do best. It’s a service we are pleased to provide to our customers.

Insurance Requirements for Medical Supplies

In most cases, insurance requirements mean submitting documentation showing a medical need for the product. Every insurance plan differs in its requirements, but what’s important is making sure they are met so that the claim can be properly billed and reimbursed. We’re experts when it comes to understanding these requirements, and we make sure they’re properly met.

How We Do It:

The first step to following the insurance requirements is knowing what they are, and to do that, we rely on our compliance team. Our compliance team is made up of experts who research, update, and document the requirements for all the insurances we accept. Right now, that amounts to about 117,000 individual regulations. The team then programs these requirements into our proprietary software systems. This allows our service representative to fulfil them and get orders out quickly.

The HCD team also works with healthcare professionals to provide them with a greater understanding of the requirements. They create forms specific to insurance plans so that healthcare professionals don’t need to research what paperwork their patients need. Our specialists also inform doctors of what insurance companies are looking for on each form. This lets them know exactly what information to provide.

Why Insurance Requirements Matter:

Knowing these insurance requirements helps us provide the best service to both customers and healthcare professionals. Because we know exactly what insurance companies need, we can immediately begin fulfilling those requirements. The customer feels very little stress or burden, as we do all of this on their behalf.

The efficiency of our team has led to reduced processing times, allowing most orders to go out within 48 hours of being placed. And because we focus on doing things the right way, we earned multiple perfect accreditation scores from the Community Health Accreditation Partner, an unprecedented accomplishment in our industry.

There’s no question that accuracy and attention to detail take extra effort, but it’s certainly worth the reward. The commitment provides our customers and referrers with a much better experience, and we’re proud of the positive difference it makes.

9 Things to Know About Your Glucometer

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you may have checked your blood sugar (glucose) thousands of times. Or, if you are new to the diabetes community, this whole fingerstick thing might still be a little strange. Either way, we think you’ll benefit from this update on best practices for using a traditional glucose meter (glucometer), plus tips for making monitoring as easy and effective as possible. An alternative to the glucometer for those diagnosed with diabetes is a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), a wearable device that tracks your glucose 24/7 mostly without fingersticks. Get answers to common questions about CGMs here.

Everything You Need to Know About Catheter-Associated UTIs

For most of us, the ability to easily go into a bathroom and empty our bladders is one of those basic functions that is easy to take for granted. But when you have a urological condition that makes urinating difficult or impossible, life becomes a little more complicated. Luckily, help is available in the form of a urinary catheter, a tube inserted in the bladder that allows the urine to be diverted into a drainage bag that is regularly emptied.

Living With Blood Thinners

Do you take a blood thinner? Blood thinners are lifesaving drugs that assist our bodies in keeping our blood flowing smoothly. First discovered about 100 years ago, blood thinners, also known as anticoagulants, are used by two to three million Americans. While they do not actually make the blood “thinner” or break up existing blood clots, blood thinners do stop blood clots from growing larger and prevent new ones from developing.

How To Cut Sugar From Your Diet

If you have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or are just determined to control your glucose levels, or improve your eating habits by scaling back on sugar, we applaud you. It can be difficult to cut down on sugar, because as everybody knows, nothing hits the mouth, and the brain, like a warm chocolate chip cookie or a cold ice cream cone.
