How can I ensure correct billing for DME (Durable Medical Equipment)?

To bill for DME, you’ll need proper documentation, including patient diagnosis, medical necessity, and a detailed prescription. Be sure to use the appropriate modifiers (e.g., KX, RT, LT) and maintain compliance with Medicare guidelines.

Why doesn't Brace Direct work with insurance or Medicare?

Brace Direct follows a direct-to-consumer model to offer affordable prices, upfront pricing transparency, and faster access to braces without the delays and complexities of insurance or Medicare billing. Many products are FSA and HSA eligible for added convenience.

How does Brace Direct support healthcare providers?

We offer an extensive range of PDAC-approved products, educational resources, and a user-friendly ordering platform. Additionally, our Provider Discount Program helps practices manage costs while delivering high-quality care.

What does PDAC approval mean, and why is it important?

PDAC (Pricing, Data Analysis, and Coding) approval ensures that a brace meets Medicare’s strict requirements for quality, design, and function. Using PDAC-approved products simplifies reimbursement processes and helps avoid claim denials.
