DME billing, can we use the company name and not the doctor when billing for DMERC?

I am confused, when completing Block 31 of a CMS form or electronic equivalent for DMERC, billing a L1902-RT, whose name goes there? Can it be the organization name or does it have to be the provider? It says include degree or credentials in the instructions. So, if someone puts the company name there in block 31 besides block number 32 and 33, isn't that not right?

This can get a bit complicated, so please provide more information as to the relationship of the dispensing to the supplier and where the device was dispensed (office, SNF, patient's home), is the dispenser reassigning their benefits as a 1099 consultating provider to the practice or a W2 employee?

In this case, the DME is dispensed in the office to a patient, the provider was employed by their medical group (W-2), so does the employed provider's name go in box 31 or the group DME name?

In this case, box 31 is the signature of the owner of the DME PTAN.

Box 32 would be the location where the item was dispensed ( the office location). Please note this in contrast to POS 12 which is home for box 24B

Box 33 is the company billing the item not the individual provider.

24J is where the rendering provider's NPI goes.

I hope that answers your question.
