Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies

Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers rely on prescribing providers to substantiate the need for services and/or supplies billed to the Medicare program.

The Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) maintain a special section on their websites specific to physicians, nonphysician practitioners and clinicians. These webpages include “Dear Physician Letters” written by the DME MAC Medical Directors, documentation checklists for DMEPOS items, short educational videos and the “Practitioners are you ordering…” article series.
