To become a Medicare accredited provider, you must first apply and then pass an inspection. The Medicare application is approximately 27 pages long, and even a single error can result in immediate rejection. If this occurs, you'll need to reapply, which places your application at the end of the often lengthy queue and delays your progress. There's no guarantee that the mistake identified in the first application is the only one, so multiple rejections are possible.

The inspection follows next, covering 140 points of compliance required for accreditation. Even minor oversights, such as not displaying your license clearly enough, can lead to rejection.

Engaging Allstate DME Solutions can streamline this process. We ensure that your application is correct the first time around and assist you in meeting the compliance requirements for the inspection. What could take months to accomplish independently can be completed much more quickly with our help.

Until recently, a supplier of durable medical equipment needed to win a bid to be reimbursed through Medicare. However, since December 2018, the process has changed. Now, suppliers can apply for the right to be reimbursed. Upon successful application, inspection, and accreditation, a Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN) is issued to the supplier. This number is used to bill for any DME products. Without it, reimbursement is not possible.

No, the two areas are separate. You can only bill for products if you are accredited and have a PTAN. While the accreditation process may be more streamlined for Medicare-enrolled physicians or medical professionals, it is still necessary to ensure that it is completed.

Starting a DME business involves conducting market research, creating a business plan, securing the necessary licenses, establishing relationships with suppliers, and adhering to accreditation requirements.

The accreditation process duration varies, but it generally takes several months. Factors like preparation, documentation, and the accrediting organization's review process contribute to the timeline.

Common challenges include reimbursement issues, changing regulations, and competition. Overcoming them involves efficient billing practices, staying informed on industry changes, and providing excellent customer service.
