Can anyone clarify if a hospital has to carry a DME liscense to bill insurance for pumps? I know you have to be a DME to bill Medicaid and Medicare, but I've heard you do not have to have a DME to bill private insuance. Any proof of that statement out there? I've been looking and can't find it. Come August 1 United Healthcare will be covering purchase or rental of breastpumps to ALL their members. I do have a document that says that.
