This bill mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to modify Medicare payment policies for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS). Specifically, it requires the application of a transition rule, outlined in 42 CFR 414.210(g)(9)(v), for DMEPOS items furnished in areas outside of rural or noncontiguous regions. This extension of the transition rule is set to continue through December 31, 2025 , impacting items previously included in the 2021 DMEPOS competitive bidding program. Furthermore, the legislation prohibits the Secretary from implementing a subsequent regulation, 42 CFR 414.210(g)(9)(vi), until January 1, 2026 . These adjustments aim to provide relief or stability in payment rates for certain medical equipment providers. The Secretary is authorized to implement these provisions through program instruction, streamlining the process.
