DMEPOS Supplier Accreditation Requirements - Revised SE0903
DMEPOS suppliers enrolled with the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) are required to obtain accreditation by September 30, 2009. In order to obtain or retain your Medicare Part B billing privileges, all DMEPOS suppliers (except for exempted professionals and other persons as specified by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services as noted below in this article) must comply with the Medicare program's supplier standards and quality standards and become accredited. These standards can be found in 42 CFR 424.57 or on page 36 & 37 of the CMS 855S. A DMEPOS supplier's Medicare Part B billing privileges will be revoked on or after October 1, 2009, if the DMEPOS supplier fails to obtain accreditation unless the DMEPOS supplier submits a voluntary termination to the NSC by September 30, 2009.
