May I interrupt this discussion briefly to ask if anyone can tell me where and how to obtain a HCPCS Code Book in order to code Durable Medical Equipment?  My pediatric patients need Bedwetting Sensor Alarms and the insurance companies are often not covering this especially for the families who need them most!  thanks in advance.

You can order HCPCs and ot her coding books on the internet.  Through Ingenix, Henry Schein, even the American Medical Association carries them on their web site.

Don't purchase them yourself and bill them to patient. 
I'll be you aren't qualified to bill for dispensing medical equipment (a whole other paperwork chase).

  May I interrupt this discussion briefly to ask if anyone can tell me where and how to obtain a HCPCS Code Book in order to code Durable Medical Equipment?  My pediatric patients need Bedwetting Sensor Alarms and the insurance companies are often not covering this especially for the families who need them most!  thanks in advance.

        organized format. It puts you a mouse-click away from the most up-to-date

        ### Who do you suppose is paying for this content? Look around the site

        ***********So what? Let them pay for it, if I can have pertinent journal articles abstracted for me.  I am looking for content and quality, and don't have the time to do this.  If it is something I don't care for, I deleted.  I can discriminate among the journals, among the articles, among the advertisers.

Subject: [PrvPracNP] California Prescription Pads
Message-ID: <20041221142238.14252.qmail@web54704.mail.yahoo.com>

Dear fellow NPs:
 
I have a few questions regarding prescription pads in California.

   Does the supervising MD's name, medical license number, DEA number need to be pre-printed on the prescription?
   In addition to my NP license number, must my RN license number appear as well?  

Sincerely,

Steve Hogan
