Clarify Detailed Written Orders For Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, And Supplies (DMEPOS)
The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to clarify the instructions for conducting medical reviews of written orders provided for most items of DMEPOS. Previously, detailed
written orders were required to have a start date. Now, the order is required to contain the date that the order was written. This also clarifies the items which require a written order prior to delivery to include 42 CFR
410.38(d).
