CMS Form 855 and have at it.
One slip up in coding or documentation and the RAC will eat you alive.
I do not do it and do not recommend it. Over-utilization patterns are easy to track and will occur if an opportunity exists to profit from another's misery.

DME is a beast of the past from a financial point of view...
1) medicare will eat you alive - and it takes about 2 years right now to get a DME # --- good luck
2) most of the insurers have contracted with specific suppliers --- so you can't try to fool w/ them... even work comp in my state has contracted w/ one supplier
3) you should have thought about DME 10 years ago... so should have I.
