CMS Pub. 100-08, ch. 5, § 5.14
Pick-up Slips
For purposes of this section, a pick-up slip is written confirmation, provided by a supplier,
that the supplier has removed an item of DME from the beneficiary’s home.
When making determinations, DME MACs and UPICs must ascertain not only whether
equipment is present in the home, but must determine which equipment is actually being
used by the patient. Therefore, it is inappropriate to determine, solely based on lack of a
pick up slip that a piece of equipment may still be in use. Likewise, it is inappropriate for
DME MACs and UPICs to deny claims solely based on lack of a pick-up slip. DME MACs
and UPICs should develop these claims to determine which piece of equipment i s
medically necessary.
