Durable Medical Equipment (DME) billing modifiers are used to provide additional information to Medicare and other insurance companies about the services and equipment provided to patients. These modifiers are added to the healthcare billing codes to indicate the specific circumstances under which the services were provided. Here are some commonly used DME billing modifiers:

1. KX Modifier: This modifier is used to indicate that the DME provided is medically necessary, and that the patient’s condition meets the criteria for coverage. This modifier is often required by Medicare for certain DME items.
2. RR Modifier: This modifier is used to indicate that the equipment being billed was rented rather than purchased.
3. NU Modifier: This modifier is used to indicate that the DME was purchased new, rather than used or refurbished.
4. LT/RT Modifier: These modifiers are used to indicate that the DME was provided to either the left or right side of the body.

It’s important to note that the use of DME billing modifiers can vary depending on the specific insurance company, and healthcare providers should always consult with their billing department or a billing specialist to ensure that the appropriate modifiers are used for each claim.
