🚨Top five things for professionals to know as we head into 2026:

đź’  Changes to Medicare's accreditation process will require suppliers to be reaccredited and resurveyed annually instead of every 3 years beginning in 2026.

đź’ Enrollment accuracy is more important than ever. Clerical errors can now result in retroactive revocations. Review PECOS today to ensure all information is current/accurate.

đź’ Don't implement the new Knee Orthosis language too soon. The new coverage doesn't go into effect until January 26, 2026. Application of new coverage to current dates of service will likely result in claim denials.

đź’ January is the perfect time to schedule HIPAA and Fraud/Waste/Abuse training for staff.

đź’ Review/update payer fee schedules for 2026. May EMR software programs will do it for you, but some may have to be manually updated.

Stay proactive to set your practice up for success in 2026! đź’Ż

In October, the OIG identified improper payments for DMEPOS delivered to patients during inpatient stays. As of December, CGS and Noridian have begun issuing recoupments and adjustments for these overpayments—some dating back to 2018.

What should you do?
âś” If the claim was truly paid in error: Submit a refund
âś” If you believe the claim was recouped in error: Submit an appeal with supporting documentation
âś” Review internal processes to prevent inappropriate claim payments

CMS has finalized a rule that changes how accreditation will work for suppliers in the new year.

Starting in 2026:
➕Re-accreditation will now be required every year, not every three years.
➕CMS will increase oversight of the eight accrediting organizations to strengthen compliance and reduce fraud, waste, and abuse.

Why it matters: Annual reviews help ensure suppliers maintain high standards of care and meet evolving regulatory requirements. This change is designed to protect patients and improve program integrity.

➡️Effective December 2, 2025, CMS has ended its approval of the Board of Certification/Accreditation, International (BOC) as an accrediting organization for DMEPOS suppliers.

Suppliers who need initial accreditation or are due for reaccreditation must now obtain accreditation from a CMS-approved accrediting organization.
