DME billing · Greeley, CO
DME billing services in Greeley have to cover one of Colorado's largest and most spread-out counties, and 247 Medical Billing Services has billed for Weld County suppliers since 2005.
We file Jurisdiction C claims through CGS, secure Health First Colorado prior authorizations under the RAE structure, and clear commercial denials with one dedicated account manager, all inside a free 360° dashboard held to HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II standards.
Greeley's revenue leaks start with distance. Weld County is enormous, stretching from the city out across ag land and oil-and-gas country to the Nebraska and Wyoming lines, and a delivery run can cover fifty miles before the equipment reaches the patient. Every one of those runs still has to return a signed Proof of Delivery, and on a long-haul book those signatures are the first thing to go missing. The table below names the denials we see most on a Weld County mobility and oxygen book.

Fixing the delivery-proof problem alone recovers real money on a rural book, which is why we build the POD capture into the claim workflow instead of hoping it comes back with the driver.
Mobility and oxygen lead the Greeley book, and each bills on its own clock regardless of how far the truck drove. HCPCS codes and modifiers stay inside the table.
| Item (sample HCPCS) | Payment basis | Modifiers | Weld County note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard power wheelchair (K0823) | Capped rental, prior auth | KX, RR, NU | PMD approval before delivery |
| Manual wheelchair (K0001) | Capped rental or purchase | KX, NU | Common ag-workforce item |
| Oxygen concentrator (E1390) | 36-month cap plus servicing | KX, RR | Altitude raises qualifying volume |
| Walker (E0143) | Inexpensive / routinely purchased | KX, NU | High-turnover low-cost item |
| Hospital bed (E0250) | Capped rental | KX, RR, NU | Home-discharge follow-on |
Greeley is the hub of Weld County's agriculture and energy economy, anchored by UCHealth Greeley Hospital and Banner North Colorado Medical Center. That economy shapes the caseload in ways a metro biller would miss. The ag and oil-and-gas workforce skews toward physically demanding work and carries a real injury and mobility burden, so power and manual wheelchairs and support equipment move steadily. Coverage in this workforce can also shift with the season and with employment, which makes eligibility re-verification on recurring rentals more important here than in a stable urban book — a patient covered at the first month's rental may have changed plans by the third.
For Health First Colorado members, Greeley sits in Weld County within Region 2 under Northeast Health Partners as the Regional Accountable Entity, the same RAE that serves the northern-Colorado corridor. The RAE coordinates care, but higher-cost durable medical equipment still needs state prior authorization on file before delivery. Every Medicare DMEPOS claim routes to CGS as the Jurisdiction C DME MAC rather than the local Part B contractor. And because Greeley sits around 4,600 feet, the oxygen book still runs heavier than at sea level, layering respiratory volume on top of the mobility work. A supplier here often ends up carrying both a complex mobility line and a growing oxygen line at once, and the two run on completely different rules — prior authorization and delivery proof on the mobility side, the 36-month cap and servicing calendar on the oxygen side — so a billing partner has to be fluent in both to keep the whole book whole.
Revenue review
A certified DME billing specialist reviews your coding, unit counts, authorizations and aged A/R against the payers you actually bill in Greeley, CO — and puts a number on what your current process is leaving on the table.

Suppliers outsource DME billing in Greeley because a spread-out, mobility-and-oxygen book combines the two hardest things to manage at once — power-chair prior authorization and long-haul delivery proof — across a service area too big for a one-person billing desk to police. A power wheelchair delivered before CGS affirms the authorization denies outright, and a fifty-mile run that comes back without a signature is an unbillable claim no matter how clean the coding. Add oxygen recertification and shifting workforce eligibility, and the in-house cost of staying current climbs with every county the route map adds.
As a DMEPOS billing company built for home medical equipment, we bring a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate, up to 40% fewer denials, recovery on 90% of worked denials, and days in A/R held under 25, and we retain 98% of the suppliers who join us. You keep a named account manager and a live dashboard, not a ticket queue. Choosing a specialist HME billing services company over a general medical billing services company is decisive where prior authorization and rural delivery proof drive the outcome, and a professional team fluent in DMEPOS rules keeps the authorizations and PODs from slipping. We add credentialing and payer enrollment so new payers and locations come online without a revenue gap. See our national DME billing services overview and our Colorado medical billing page for the statewide payer picture, and lean on us as the billing company that already knows Weld County's reach.
Greeley's supplier mix is mobility and oxygen first, shaped by an ag and energy workforce. We bill for standard and complex-rehab mobility shops, respiratory and oxygen providers, hospital-bed and support-surface suppliers, walker and low-cost-equipment operations, and retail HME storefronts serving Greeley, Evans, Windsor, Fort Lupton, and the wider Weld County farm and energy communities. These are suppliers running long routes across open country, and their revenue depends on prior authorization and delivery proof holding up over distance. As a billing services company built for a rural mobility-and-oxygen book, we keep the authorizations, the recertifications, and the delivery records aligned so the mileage never turns into a denial.
Medical billing for DME in Greeley has to survive distance, and 247MBS builds the workflow around it for Weld County suppliers. We capture and confirm proof of delivery before a fifty-mile run ever becomes a claim, affirm power-mobility authorizations with CGS before a chair leaves the dock, and re-verify eligibility on recurring rentals so a seasonal ag or energy patient covered in month one is still covered in month three. On the oxygen side we hold the 36-month cap and servicing calendar that the altitude around 4,600 feet keeps busy. Suppliers taking UCHealth Greeley Hospital and Banner North Colorado discharges reach a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate and days in A/R under 25. Request a revenue review to see where the mileage is costing you signatures and revenue.

Greeley sits in Weld County within Region 2 under Northeast Health Partners. Higher-cost DME still needs state prior authorization before delivery.
Yes. Coverage in an ag and energy workforce can change between orders, so we re-check eligibility on recurring rentals to keep a once-covered patient from becoming an unpaid claim later.
