Joint Commission

Billing and Collection Policy

Care Medical accepts insurance assignment in most cases; however, payment balances not covered by insurance are the responsibility of the customer. These balances may include deductibles, co-payments or denials. You may be responsible for payment should the necessary billing documents or authorizations not be made available to Care Medical by you, your physician or insurance carrier.

Notice to Medicare Beneficiaries

As a Medicare provider, we are required to inform you of certain rights that you have concerning your equipment benefits. First, a list of the Medicare Supplier Standards is provided to you on the back side of the Customer Orientation Form and the Delivery Document you signed when your equipment was delivered. Next, you may have a choice to rent or purchase certain items. Please ask your Care Medical representative if the item that you are receiving is one of these. Finally, if you have any questions concerning your Medicare coverage benefits for durable medical equipment, you are welcome to contact our billing department or if you wish to contact Medicare directly, you may do so by calling 1-800-899-7095.
