The date of the written order must not be prior to the date of the face to face visit. The face to face visit must document that the patient was evaluated and treated for a medical condition that supports the durable medical equipment (DME) items ordered.
The equipment provider will expect 5 things to flow from the face to face visit.
1. the physician has evaluated the patient
2. the physician has conducted a needs assessment
3. the medical condition that contributes to the need is listed
4. the identity of the provider conducting the face to face is documented
5. a hard copy of a doctors order for the equipment is written
Home Care Path encourages families of individuals who are eligible for and need the benefit from medical adaptive equipment work with a doctor and a Medicare Medicaid certified equipment provider to get their needs met.
