CMN definition:
A DME is a document signed by the prescribing provider containing clinical information that supports the need for each item, services or supplies requested for a beneficiary. A physician’s order or prescription itself can take the place of the CMN as long as it includes the necessary elements and signature. It is very important that the CMN or physician order be complete and current for the services/supplies/equipment to be covered. A copy of the CMN or order must be submitted with the claim or may be faxed. Providers should keep the CMN on file for at least one year.
