Verify the Same or Similar DME rules, including any lookback period, and confirm through the payer&rsquo;s system or eligibility portal. If needed, contact the payer directly for confirmation before processing the claim. <span style="color:#ffffff;"><a style="color:#ffffff;" href="https://retrobowlplus.com">Retro Bowl</a></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
