| DMEPOS Accreditation Application Deadline ( January 31, 2009 ) The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) wants to ensure that suppliers of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (DMEPOS) have ample time to complete the accreditation process and thus receive an accreditation decision by the September 30, 2009 deadline. In order to meet this deadline, CMS is encouraging all enrolled DMEPOS suppliers, except those eligible professionals and other persons exempted by law, to submit a complete accreditation application to an accreditation organization by January 31, 2009. There will be a Special Open Door Forum (ODF) on Thursday, January 8 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm (ET) to review the accreditation requirements for those DMEPOS suppliers (including pharmacies) that need to meet the September 30th accreditation deadline. Pharmacies, pedorthists, mastectomy fitters, orthopedic fitters/technicians, or athletic trainers applying for Medicare enrollment in order to bill for Medicare Part B services are not exempt from meeting the September 30, 2009 deadline for DMEPOS accreditation and are encouraged to participate in this Special Open Door Forum.
