How To: Simplify Your Wheelchair Rental Fleet Management

Jan 11, 2024

How To Simplify Your Wheelchair Rental Fleet Management 

Worn out upholstery. Break repairs. Battery replacements. Damaged wiring. With long-term use of wheelchairs, many issues may cause a patient to need a rental while their equipment is being repaired. Manually tracking your rental fleet while using a system separate from your sales orders and documentation is tedious, especially when it comes time to bill for the service. Keep reading to learn how digital inventory management and automated billing can make your workflow more seamless and your rental management easier. 


Integrated Digital Inventory Management 

The paper trail of sales orders and documents with patient, physician, or therapist signatures can be hefty. Managing hard copies of all these documents is time-consuming and introduces the risk of

misplaced documents. Plus, when you or your ATPs are on the go, you can’t access your real-time inventory levels. 


With digital inventory management, you can keep your forms secure and organized. And, when a wheelchair needs repairs that can’t be completed on-site, it’s easy to check out rental equipment and assign it to a patient profile. No matter where you are, you can use a platform to view exactly what rentals are available, where your rentals are, and which documents you’ve gotten signed for a patient. 


Automated Rental Claims 

While some rentals are short-term, long-term rentals will often require different modifiers to be updated over the life of the rental, so claims are submitted properly. Manual updates to these modifiers can be a logistical challenge and introduce human error (forgetting to update modifiers before sending claims to payers). With automated rental claims, you won’t need to set a reminder to update modifiers on claims before submitting them. Instead, you can rest assured that modifiers are updated according to the schedule that is preset by an ATP when claims are auto-generated for your billers to review. 


How are Automated Rental Claims Set Up? 

When you start a new automated claim, you’ll begin by setting up HCPCS modifiers. You’ll be able to choose multiple options for modifiers, according to the custom fee schedules of your insurance payers. Before you start the auto-billing process, you’ll enter the number of billing periods for the rental. Finally, you’re ready to assign the claim and send it to your billing department.

Business Intelligence (BI) platform offerings are no longer a niche set of database management tools requiring deep, technical skills. The field has expanded into a competitive marketplace of solutions – businesses now self-select for their specific needs. The result of this healthy competition? Access to data and BI tools is no longer a luxury – it’s an expectation. This has elevated data’s role in strategic planning. For healthcare providers, data allows them insight into optimizing care delivery, enhancing patient experiences, and projecting trends to ensure financial health. Visualizing vast amounts of data is now incredibly accessible, making critical information readily available for informed decision-making. Instead of holding access to data hostage, Nymbl Systems puts your data to work for you. At Nymbl, our BI offerings to customers fall into two categories: “canned” dashboards and customizable, ad-hoc analysis dashboards.

Nymbl Systems has partnered with the Limb Loss and Preservation Registry (LLPR) to make data collection and submission easier for O&P practices that participate in the effort. An automation within Nymbl’s software allows the transfer of LLPR-collected fields from practices to the database without any additional effort on a practitioner’s part. How it Works When an O&P practice using Nymbl Systems decides to participate with the LLPR, their first step is to contact the Nymbl Customer Support team. Then, Nymbl ‘flips a switch’ on their end and begins transmitting data from that practice to the LLPR data base. Users of Nymbl will be able to easily identify any fields transmitted to the LLPR from the business management platform; these fields are marked by a tooltip icon. “The information is automatically sent as employees and practitioners go about their daily routines,” Josh Lau, CEO of Nymbl Systems, said. “It’s designed to be seamless and eliminate any barriers for practices who want to contribute to this incredibly important effort.”

It’s hard to help others outside a niche industry “get” what you do. Even with an invested interest on both ends, an understanding can be challenging to reach. This is something that feels especially relevant given the latest updates in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) coverage of Seat Elevation systems. See how Nymbl gets you.

Many practitioners like to joke that insurance payers are more often in the business of denying claims than paying them… and from my point of view, they have a point. To maintain a stable stream of payments, you need a reliable system to help double, and triple check your work.

The significance of this act for orthotists, prosthetists, and their patients cannot be overstated – it represents a monumental shift towards patient-centered care and a statutory and regulatory separation of O&P from the umbrella of DME, allowing for more appropriate regulation in the future.
