  267. <p>Shipping routine supplies by mail is convenient for DME suppliers and customers.</p><p>But occasionally a customer claims they didn’t receive their supplies … even though the supplier has a delivery confirmation from the post office or delivery service.</p><p>Will Medicare reimburse the supplier for a replacement order?</p><p>They will! Packages that go missing after confirmed delivery by third-parties are often stolen, and Medicare will pay for replacement items when the originals are lost, stolen, or irreparably damaged.</p><h2>Getting Paid to Replace Stolen Items</h2><p>Medicare requires documentation confirming the theft. The best support is an official police report, but a formal written statement from the customer alleging theft and detailing relevant facts may suffice.</p><p>Once the supplier has documentation of the theft, they can provide identical – or nearly identical – items to the Medicare customer. To obtain reimbursement for the replacement items, suppliers should:</p><ol><li>Append the RA modifier to the claim for replacement items, and</li><li>Include the narrative “Replacement due to theft.”</li></ol><h2>Repeated Thefts</h2><p>The Medicare replacement policy is simple, but contractors will question repeated thefts, especially within a relatively short period of time … say 18-24 months. To avoid customer abuse and Medicare’s suspicion, suppliers should have a policy for dealing with customers claiming frequent losses. A good policy starts with educating customers on the importance of retrieving parcels promptly, and to the extent possible, creating a secure delivery drop for mailed packages. If shipments continue to go missing, suppliers should consider discontinuing delivery to the risky location.</p><p>We hope thieves don’t take advantage of Medicare beneficiaries, but when they do, we hope this will help suppliers ensure continued patient access without unfair financial consequences.</p> </div>

  427. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">January 31, 2025, marks the fifth anniversary of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). This milestone highlights the lasting impact of the pandemic on healthcare and equipment management. Many devices put into use during the PHE are now reaching the end of their reasonable useful lifetime (RUL), making it essential to assess replacement strategies and long-term readiness. <a href="https://miravistallc.com/?s=oxygen">O</a></span><a href="https://miravistallc.com/?s=oxygen"><span style="font-weight: 400;">xygen</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> suppliers are almost certainly wondering,</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><i>“Does Medicare require a new qualifying blood gas study and chart notes to provide replacement equipment?”</i></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In short, Medicare does not require requalification under the normal coverage rules if the supplier:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Set up the initial oxygen equipment between March 1, 2020, and May 11, 2023,</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Relied on PHE clinical waivers to qualify the patient, and</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Included the CR modifier and COVID-19 narrative on billed claims.</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And &#8211; bonus &#8211; unlike many other product categories, Medicare will replace oxygen equipment at the end of its five-year RUL even if the original device is still functioning.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To qualify oxygen patients for replacement equipment, suppliers must:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Document continued use,</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Obtain a new order from the patient’s physician to establish current medical need,</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add the RA modifier and applicable narrative to the claim for the first month’s replacement, and</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Continue to use the CR modifier and COVID-19 narrative on claims for replacement equipment.</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ultimately, the clinical waivers that permitted patients to qualify for oxygen during the PHE carry over to new equipment if the device remained in continuous use from original setup. In those cases, <a href="https://nikohealth.com/medical-resupply/">suppliers</a> do not need to obtain chart notes and test results that support coverage under the normal guidelines.</span></p> </div>
