New Medicare equipment billing rules
This bill would change Medicare billing rules for some durable medical equipment and supplies. Items on the Master List furnished on or after January 1, 2027 would be "specified items." Claims for those Master List items would be exempt from a general electronic-filing requirement. For "applicable items," suppliers would have 90 days from the service date to submit claims. The 90-day rule would not apply to items that require a face-to-face visit and written order. It would also not apply to items that require prior authorization or that are paid as monthly rentals.
