The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reminds Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers enrolled with the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) they are required to obtain accreditation by September 30, 2009. Without accreditation, DMEPOS suppliers' billing privileges will be revoked on or after October 1, 2009. Further, without accreditation, DMEPOS suppliers will not be eligible to participate in the Route 1 Rebid of the Medicare DMEPOS competitive bidding program.

Due to the demand, site visits have not been made to over 29,000 DME providers who are in danger of losing their billing privileges. The deadline needs to be extended to prevent loss of income and more layoffs in an already stressed economy.
