A six-month moratorium on new DMEPOS supplier enrollment is nearing its planned end. What it did to prosthetic-care access, who bore the friction cost, and what to ask your payer before assuming the problem resolves itself.
Since February 27, new prosthetics and orthotics suppliers have been locked out of Medicare enrollment under a CMS fraud-control measure. For patients, the consequence is not a billing freeze — it is a quieter limit on access, especially in areas that already have few providers.
A new CMS reference document maps prosthetics, orthotics, and equipment payment requirements side by side. Less exciting than a coverage change, more useful than you might think.
