I’m creating some coding FAQs for dentist who are participating Medicare DME suppliers. They provide Oral appliance therapy for OSA. They have been told after the initial 90 day delivery of the DME device, they should bill Medicare Part B for follow-up visits. I think that’s incorrect because Medicare doesn’t recognize dentist as MDs and Medicare also doesn’t cover dental visits.

Can someone clarify that an DDS/DMD can not bill CPT e/m services to Medicare?

Thank you in advance!
