On December 28, 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule implementing various outstanding proposals related to the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) benefit and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) policies. The rule finalizes several provisions that had initially been proposed in 2020 but, unlike prior years, a DMEPOS final rule was not issued in 2020 due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other delays within CMS. The full text of the rule can be found here, and a CMS fact sheet summarizing the major provisions in the rule can be found here. Link to an AAPM&R memo can be found here.
