DME Beneficiary Telemarketing and Contact Rules: MESA Fall 2011 Convention

DME suppliers need a practical way to understand the new telemarketing and beneficiary contact restrictions because failure to comply will result in denials of payment on DME claims.

• 
  
  Identify and understand DME marketing compliance issues, particularly telemarketing and beneficiary contact
  
  
• 
  
  Discuss a case study to illustrate DME marketing risk areas
  
  
• 
  
  Explore best practices and solutions to DME marketing challenges
  
  
• 
  
  Receive sample tools and resources on DME marketing compliance
