Qualifiers

 Qualifiers must be completed to generate a script for MD to sign and
for vendor to process order, if DME/Supplies are billed to a third party
payer; qualifier questions are based on Medicare guidelines,
regardless of the MD orders.
 Qualifier challenges
• Frequency of bandage change cannot be greater than once per
week under Medicare guidelines; any frequency entered greater
than 1 will disqualify the order and will not process to MD to sign
script
 If diagnosis code(s) do not support the products ordered, check the
ICD 10 codes for those that begin with ‘Z’; if ‘Z’ codes are listed, the
recommendation is to remove the codes from the Parachute order by
selecting the ‘X’ to the far right of the listed code; Medicare view ‘Z’
coded diagnosis as miscellaneous codes; the order should process to
the next step
