AAHomecare Webinar: Face-To-Face Requirements: What Do They Mean To The DME Provider?

Are you a provider wondering (among other things) whether the face-to-face requirement applies when patients transfer to a new supplier pursuant to an asset acquisition?

 

The Affordable Care Act authorizes CMS to require, for specified covered items, that payment may only be made if a physician has transmitted to the provider a written order for the item before the delivery of the item. 

 

The ACA further states that for certain items of DME, there must be documentation that a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist, has had a "face-to-face" encounter with the beneficiary. Active Enforcement of the face-to-face requirement has been extended until October 1, 2013.  

 

This program will discuss the face-to-face requirement in detail; examine what this requirement means to the DME provider on a day-to-day basis; and address a number of "real life" situations that providers will face.
