What happens when there is an interruption in medical necessity for the oxygen equipment during the 36-month rental payment period (before the 36th continuous rental payment has been made)?
A. If there is an interruption in medical necessity of less than 60 days plus the days remaining in the last paid rental month (e.g., month 20), once the need resumes, the supplier would submit a claim for the next rental month and the count of continuous rental months would pick up at where the rental payments suspended (e.g., month 21).
