Overview

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.  Click on the "Announcements and Communications" section of this web page to read the most recent announcements concerning the program.
