DME MAC stands for Durable Medical Equipment, Medicare Administration Contractor. DMEs are the equipment that helps assist a patient after they leave the hospital or clinic, like a wheel chair or crutches. MAC is in charge of processing DMEPOS claims to one of the four specific regional offices.

The codes we use must coincide with the services and equipment that are on the claim. If there is a mistake, the claim will be rejected and we will have to start the process all over
