Medicare Part B covers a range of services, from doctor visits to outpatient therapy, but what about supplies? That’s where Medicare Part B supply reimbursement comes in.
For skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), this means getting paid back for the everyday medical supplies you use to care for residents—things like wound care products, blood sugar test strips, and catheters. While these items are essential, the process of getting reimbursed can feel overwhelming. Burst Billing makes this process simple.
Part B covers many areas, including outpatient visits, diagnostic tests, and physical therapy. However, the “supply” side specifically refers to disposable, one-time-use items essential for patient care in skilled nursing facilities. These include things like ostomy supplies, catheters, trach supplies, and diabetic testing materials. Unlike services such as outpatient visits or therapy, these supplies are consumables directly tied to daily care.
No, Medicare Part B supplies are different from Durable Medical Equipment (DME). While DME includes reusable items like wheelchairs or oxygen tanks, Part B supplies are disposable items such as syringes or wound care materials. Most SNFs assume these supplies are free, but they’re entitled to much more than one might think. Burst focuses exclusively on these consumable supplies to ensure your facility gets the money it deserves.
Burst simplifies the reimbursement process by identifying eligible supplies, submitting clean claims, and tracking payments. Our tech-driven approach makes sure every claim meets compliance standards while maximizing recovered revenue, so your facility can focus on patient care.
Think of it this way: every supply used in your facility represents care delivered and dollars spent. Without reimbursement, those dollars stay out of your budget. Plus, many nursing homes mistakenly believe Part B supplies are free, or that their supplier bills for them while keeping the profits.
For SNFs operating on razor-thin margins, this lost profit adds up fast. Medicare Part B supply reimbursement is the key to unlocking those funds and reinvesting them into your facility.
Before Burst, 97% of SNFs weren’t getting reimbursed for their Medicare Part B supplies. That’s a lot of money left on the table. By partnering with us, clients:
