DMEPOS Relief Act of 2025
Summary
This legislation aims to modify Medicare payment rates for durable medical equipment (DME) that were previously part of the 2021 competitive bidding program. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement specific adjustments to existing regulations concerning DME payment.
Specifically, the bill mandates the application of a transition rule (42 CFR 414.210(g)(9)(v)) for DME items and services furnished in areas other than rural or non-contiguous regions, extending this rule until December 31, 2025. Furthermore, it prohibits the implementation of another related regulation (42 CFR 414.210(g)(9)(vi)) until January 1, 2026, thereby delaying its effect. The Secretary is authorized to implement these provisions through program instruction or other means, ensuring timely adjustments to Medicare payment policies for DME.
