Competitive Bidding for DMEPOS
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a final rule that will improve the accuracy of Medicare's payments for certain durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) through a new competitive bidding program.
- Delay of the Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program (CMS Message 2008-07-16)
The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 was enacted on July 15, 2008. This new law has delayed the Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program. Items that had been included in the first round of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program can be furnished by any enrolled DMEPOS supplier in accordance with existing Medicare rules. Payment for these items will be made under the fee schedule. Additional guidance regarding this new law will be forthcoming.
