Simplify Medicare Documentation with WorryFree DME

Ordering therapeutic shoes for your patients is easy; gathering the paperwork for Medicare compliance is not.

WorryFree DME is a document procurement service that helps your practice manage the ongoing compliance document procurement process that Medicare requires for dispensing therapeutic footwear. 

How WorryFree DME Works

When you enter your patient’s information and order their footwear, our team helps manage the documentation process by:

• Contacting the Medical Doctor for certifying statements and DM management notes
• Gather the signed forms
• Review documents for compliance
• Create every other Medicare required form

Benefits for your practice:

• Offload the administrative workload from you and your staff
• Increase practice efficiency
• Improve documentation accuracy
• Provide you with more time with your patients
• Simplify the Medicare paperwork process
• Support successful therapeutic shoe dispensing

The service is free for the first month. Thereafter, a nominal $4.99 service fee is offset by the office time saved and the increased number of shoes fit, year after year.
