Selling at Retail: Legal Guidelines to Follow
AAHomecare Webinar presented by Jeffrey S. Baird, Esq., Brown & Fortunato
“DME suppliers are caught in the “perfect storm” of competitive bidding, aggressive audits, low reimbursement and strict documentation requirements. As a result, it is extremely difficult for suppliers to rely on the traditional Medicare fee-for-service business model. Out of necessity, many suppliers are pushing themselves out of their comfort zone and are entering the retail/cash market. What this means is that suppliers are requiring customers, including Medicare beneficiaries, to pay cash for items. These include Medicare covered items and items not covered by Medicare. The law allows suppliers to do this, but as is often the case “the devil is in the details.”
This webinar will discuss what the law says DME suppliers can…..and cannot…..do as they push into the retail/cash market. For example, what can suppliers charge when they sell a Medicare covered item for cash? Are there any restrictions on selling non-covered items for cash? When suppliers sell or rent items for cash on a non-assigned basis, must they submit a claim to Medicare for the customer? And when is it proper to use an ABN? These and other questions will be answered in this webinar.”
