Title: Establishing Additional Medicare Provider and Supplier Enrollment Safeguards and Surety Bonds for DMEPOS (CMS-6045-P) 
Abstract: This proposed rule would expand existing provider and supplier enrollment requirements to obtain or maintain Medicare billing privileges. Under the Affordable Care Act, this rule would also require surety bonds for DMEPOS. This proposed rule would also specify the qualification standards and the type of prosthetic and orthotic devices billable to the Medicare program. It also proposes the accreditation deadline for the entities billing orthotics and prosthetics and identifies the DMEPOS product categories exempt from accreditation requirements.
