Medicare Medical Equipment Payment Rates Stabilized Until 2025.
This bill temporarily extends the current payment rules for durable medical equipment (like wheelchairs or oxygen tanks) under the Medicare program. This means that higher payment rates for equipment suppliers will remain in effect until the end of 2024. The goal is to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries maintain continuous access to necessary medical supplies.
Key points
Extends the current, more stable payment rates for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) suppliers under Medicare until December 31, 2024.
Delays the implementation of new, potentially lower payment rates derived from the competitive bidding program until January 1, 2025.
