However, when you dispense an item and bill an insurance company you are required to make sure that a patient qualifies for that item. The only way to know if a patient qualifies for a component or supply to be used with another item is to know that they qualify for the base.
Yes, it is a requirement for Medicare in the event of an audit. We are finding that more and more private insurance companies are following the same criteria. As in anything we do, I would prefer to know that I am more likely to keep my money in the event of an audit by having all necessary paperwork.
