Mobility Devices

Documentation Requirements For Power Mobility Devices Advance Determination=
of Medicare Coverage

The Medical Review Department has noted that some suppliers are not=
providing complete information when submitting Advance Determination of=
Medicare Coverage (ADMC) requests. It is helpful when all the documentation=
as outlined in the Power Mobility Devices' (PMD) Local Coverage=
Determination (L23598) and Policy Article (A41127) is submitted with an=
ADMC request to prevent a negative determination related to missing=
information.

General Announcements
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Do Not Forward

NAS places a Do Not Forward (DNF) flag on a supplier's account to protect=
the supplier's future Medicare payments after a check or remittance advice=
(RA) is returned to NAS as undeliverable by the United States Postal=
Service or when an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is declined by the=
supplier's bank. Holding payments until the supplier can update their=
address and/or bank routing information avoids funds being lost or=
misdirected.

On Wednesday, May 14, 2008, at 3:00 pm CT NAS will conduct the DME Ask the=
Contractor Teleconference to assist small suppliers. CMS has defined a=
small supplier as a supplier with ten or fewer full time equivalent=
employees. During this teleconference, knowledgeable NAS staff representing=
a variety of functions will be available to answer your questions. If we=
cannot answer your question during the teleconference, we will research the=
issue and then call you with the answer.
