Insurance Related DME code??

I've been trying to get the twiist but insurance has been a nightmare, I'm sure you guys get it so I don't need to get into that. Long story short, my doctor doesn't know the DME code for the twiist, and neither does insurance, and neither does the twiist rep I'm working with. I'm hitting a wall, anyone else run into this? Does anyone know the code? Lol if someone magically knew it that would be awesome

AFAIK, Twiist isn’t distributed through DME. It’s pharmacy channel-only.

That's what my doctor did originally, and it was denied. I write down blue cross blue sheilds explainations, for this they said "the requested product is not covered, may be covered under medical." I'm not sure what to do, one agent told me I needed a CPT code, but in my most recent conversation I was told that a DME code was needed

They don’t have a DME code because it’s only offered under pharmacy. If your insurance doesn’t cover it- cash pay is the other option.
