The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that as of May 18 it will expand its list of scenarios that may lead to a stay of enrollment for noncompliant durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers. The additional scenarios include liability insurance and surety bond cancellations, site visit noncompliance determinations, and a failure to respond to development requests within 30 days for revalidations or changes to information.
A stay of enrollment, which was introduced in 2024, pauses enrollment for up to 60 days to correct noncompliance as an alternative to a full deactivation or revocation of billing privileges for situations that can be quickly remedied.
