New DMEPOS Provider Services
Are you new to the home medical equipment business? The van Halem Group has services to help you get started in the industry.
Product-Specific Education Webinars
The van Halem Group’s team of expert consultants are able to train your employees on proper documentation requirements and coverage criteria to make sure claims are filed correctly the first time, so you can get paid and keep your money in the event of an audit. Training is available for Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party payers.
Clinical Prescreen Services
Let The van Halem Group’s clinical team pre-screen your claims before you submit them for payment to ensure the documentation you have meets the payor’s coverage criteria and your claims are complete and accurate. Pre-screens will reduce audits and appeals, help reduce the risk of violating coverage policies, and ultimately help your business get paid faster.
Our Clinical Prescreen Services are per file fees and based upon complexity.
Medicare/Medicaid Enrollment Assistance and Updates
The van Halem Group can assist with the enrollment and update process for both Medicare and state Medicaid plans, making sure you enroll correctly to bill and avoid potentially costly revocations or supplier standard violations.
