On August 27, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) announced that the moratorium on accepting Medicare supplier enrollment applications for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (“DMEPOS”) suppliers, which went into effect on February 27, 2026, has expired.
The National Provider Enrollment Contractors are once again accepting initial enrollment applications from DMEPOS suppliers.
Practical Takeaways
- DMEPOS suppliers seeking to submit applications to CMS should submit as soon as possible before the bidding window opens for the 2028 round of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program.
- CMS confirms that the enrollment moratorium on Home Health Agencies (“HHAs”) and Hospices, which took effect on May 13, 2026, remains active. For more information, please see Hall Render’s client alert here.
