DME Instructor-Led Training Offered Again
The new instructor-led training course for DME providers is being offered again. The course, "DME Claims Processing," covers in detail how to create a DME Professional claim via the NCTracks Provider Portal, including entering the claim, saving and retrieving a claim draft, submitting the claim and verifying its status, as well as copying and resubmitting a claim. The examples covered in the course include a single line DME claim, a claim with multiple service lines, and a Medicare Part B secondary claim. The training includes an explanation of how to submit time limit override requests.
The DME course is offered in two formats - WebEx and In-person. The WebEx is available from any location with a telephone, computer and internet connection. The In-person training will be given at the CSC facility in Raleigh. The WebEx will be 2 1/2 hours in duration and limited to 115 participants per session. The In-person training will be 4 hours in duration, including hands-on exercises for the participants, and is limited to 50 per session. The sessions will be held on:
WebEx
Friday, May 23 - 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
In-Person
Thursday, May 29 - 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
