Abstract: Since 2006, DMEPOS suppliers have been required to be accredited by a CMS-approved DMEPOS accreditation organization (AO) in order to enroll in Medicare. The accreditation process, which typically centers around the AO’s on-site survey of the DMEPOS supplier, is designed to help confirm that the supplier is compliant with the DMEPOS quality standards. To become and remain a DMEPOS AO – of which there currently are eight -- an organization must comply with the requirements of § 424.58. These requirements include, but are not limited to, submission of: (i) an initial application to CMS to become a DMEPOS AO; (ii) an application to CMS for reapproval as a DMEPOS AO; and (iii) periodic information to CMS about its DMEPOS accreditation program. These AO applications and data submissions do not follow a specific format and are not furnished on uniform OMB-approved forms -- akin to, for example, the Form CMS-855S DMEPOS supplier enrollment application (Medicare Enrollment Application - Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Suppliers; OMB Control Number: 0938-1056). CMS on July 2, 2025, published in the Federal Register a proposed rule titled, “Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Calendar Year 2026 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Rate Update; Requirements for the HH Quality Reporting Program and the HH Value-Based Purchasing Expanded Model; Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program Updates; DMEPOS Accreditation Requirements; and Other Medicare and Medicaid Policies” (90 FR 29108) (CMS-1828-P). Among the proposals in this proposed rule were additional requirements that organizations must meet to become or remain a DMEPOS AO. These proposals would: (1) facilitate greater CMS oversight of the DMEPOS accreditation program in general and DMEPOS AOs in particular; and (2) help better ensure that DMEPOS AOs are adequately performing their accreditation and quality standard verification activities. These requirements would be included in revised § 424.58.
