The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a
final rule April 2 “that will reduce beneficiary out-of-pocket
costs, improve the accuracy of Medicare’s payments for certain
durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies
(DMEPOS), help combat supplier fraud, and ensure beneficiary access
to high quality DMEPOS items and services through a new competitive
bidding program,” according to CMS.
