How it runs for DME and HME suppliers
LedgerBPO codes every bill, matches it to receiving, routes it for your approval in Bill.com or your software and schedules payment. You approve and release every payment.
What is accounts payable outsourcing?
Accounts payable outsourcing means a remote specialist runs the process from vendor invoice to approved payment run: capturing bills, coding them to the ledger, matching them to purchase orders and receipts, chasing approvals and preparing payments for release. The business keeps control of the bank account and the final release. The provider works in the company's own software.
What we handle for DME and HME suppliers
- Manufacturer and distributor invoices matched to purchase orders and receiving in Brightree
- Drop-ship resupply invoices tied to patient shipments so cost follows revenue
- Oxygen, freight, repair-part and vehicle bills coded to the right product line
- Buying-group rebates and manufacturer credits tracked and applied against open bills
- Weekly payment run proposed by due date and discount, released only by you
The KPI that matters here
Every vendor bill entered within two business days of receipt and no missed early-pay discounts in the month.
DME & HME compliance notes
Medicare DMEPOS supplier rules
Medicare DMEPOS suppliers must meet the supplier standards, hold accreditation and keep a surety bond to bill Medicare. Payment then follows fee schedules, competitive-bid amounts and capped-rental rules that decide when revenue is earned. Your books need to reflect those payment rules, not a generic sales model.
Prior authorization
CMS keeps a Required Prior Authorization List for certain DMEPOS items, and claims for those items without an affirmed decision are denied. We flag delivered-but-unauthorized orders as unbilled at each close so cash forecasts stay honest. Authorization work itself stays with your intake or billing team.
HIPAA
Patient names and diagnoses appear on remittances, statements and Brightree exports. Our staff are HIPAA-trained, we sign a BAA, access is logged and files are never downloaded to local devices.
State sales tax on equipment
Many states exempt prescribed durable medical equipment from sales tax while taxing retail accessories and over-the-counter items. We track taxable and exempt sales separately in the ledger so returns can be prepared from the books. Your tax preparer or advisor confirms the rules for each state.

Frequently asked questions
How do you make sure cost of goods matches what we shipped?
Each distributor or drop-ship invoice is matched to the receiving or shipment record in your billing system before it is posted. Stock purchases go to inventory and move to cost of goods when shipped; drop-ship items go straight to the resupply cost line in the shipment month. At close we reconcile inventory value to the billing-system count and explain any variance.
Can you manage vendor payments when cash is tight before rental payments land?
We propose a weekly payment run ordered by due date, discount and vendor importance, with a short cash view showing expected MAC and commercial deposits. You choose what to release and when. We never move money ourselves, and we flag any bill that is approaching a late-fee or credit-hold date so it does not slip.
Do you handle equipment financing and lease payments?
Yes. Equipment loans and leases are set up on a schedule so each payment splits into principal and interest, and the asset and liability balances agree to the lender statement every month. New rental-fleet purchases financed by a vendor or bank are capitalized at the same time the liability is recorded, so the balance sheet stays complete.
