It’s what you do. But, unfortunately, if you’re not on top of the daily demands of working with insurance payers and government entities, then it can be tougher than it needs to be. When you work in Durable or Home Medical Equipment, you need to know how to appropriately code and bill, because if you don’t do it right the first time, there could be consequences. And with Artificial Intelligence checking everyone’s work immediately, it’s important to know what you’re doing so you can do it well.

Stricter Documentation Requirements Are Here
In order to be an efficient office, you need to be paid by the people who are supposed to pay you. Unfortunately, if you are still using the same tactics to submit your claims in 2026 as you did last year, then you could run into some problems. You see, the documentation requirements are much stricter than they were even in 2025.
Changes to the DMEPOS bidding system is the biggest news in HME, but that’s not the only thing that’s going on. Those items that are not subject to competitive bidding through DMEPOS are still subject to a fee schedule, and the rates increased modestly this year. As rules and regulations become stricter, it’s helpful to have a team keep you informed.
Insurance Payers Are Increasingly Relying On AI
In addition to additional government requirements in 2026 and beyond, insurance payers are also using new tools to limit their costs. With Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, they are working to automatically deny claims that don’t meet their requirements. You’d best believe that they’re keeping track, too, and continued denials can make it tougher for your office. Let’s talk about ways to keep yourself on the right track.
