Revision to Common Working File (CWF) Edit for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) Provided During an Inpatient Stay

This change request (CR) instructs the CWF maintainer to change the
current CWF DA02 edit for DMEPOS provided during an inpatient stay from an alert code to a reject. This
change will allow the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) the
opportunity to deny the DMEPOS claims subject to this edit before they are finalized, as appropriate, to
avoid future overpayments.
