DME Supplies Panel

Use the DME Supplies grid to configure items that appear in grids on the treatment Orthosis/DME template and on AUD HD Fitting/Repair template. Those grids show durable medical equipment that can be dispensed to the patient.

Initially, the DME Supplies grid is blank until items are added to the SIM library during implementation. Then, the grid pulls directly from the values built in the SIM library – including the name of the supply. Each code in the SIM library can be entered only once. Therefore, an item cannot exist under multiple types.

After an item with a new DME type name is entered into the grid, the type name appears in the DME Types picklist. This enables you to have supplies under whichever Type you would like.
