Can someone point me in the right direction for who can/can't sign for DME? We have a chiropractic office wanting to provide Tens Units to their patients and I've always thought that they cannot sign for DME, but I want to make sure.

Medicare coverage for all items and services furnished or ordered by chiropractors, with the exception of treatment by means of manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation, is statutorily excluded. Therefore, all DMEPOS items ordered by chiropractors are denied.
