WASHINGTON – CMS had updated the Master List of DMEPOS Items Potentially Subject to Face-to-Face Encounter and Written Order Prior to Delivery and/or Prior Authorization Requirements. CMS has added 31 items to the Master List and deleted five. It has added 11 to the Required Prior Authorization List, and it has added seven new codes to the face-to-face and WOPD Required List. The Master List includes items that meet CMS’s criteria to be added to the Prior Authorization program and/or F2F and WOPD Required List. An item being added to the Master List does not mean it will be added to the two required lists – it just means that CMS has the option to include it in the future. Implementation will be phased in, in three stages, beginning April 3 in California, Florida, Illinois and New York.
