WASHINGTON – AAHomecare is launching a nationwide supplier survey to assess the ability of DMEPOS suppliers to access state licensure requirements. The National Provider Enrollment (NPE) contractors are updating their licensure databases with significant updates on state licensure requirements. Why it’s urgent, AAHomecare says: Licensure requirements vary by location and product category, and suppliers planning to bid in Round 2028 must be appropriately licensed in the product category they are bidding. The association will use the information to engage the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and legislators. With the bidding window expected to open soon, now is the time for suppliers to share any challenges in preparing for Round 2028, AAHomecare says. Responses are due Oct. 15. Take the survey.
AAHomecare is also conducting a survey to determine the impact of Humana’s recently announced large-scale Special Investigations Unit (SIU) audits of DMEPOS providers in multiple states. Several AAHomecare members have reported receiving a significant volume of audit requests beginning in mid-August. This survey will help the association determine the impact of these audits across the country as it engages Humana and CMS on the issue. Providers should check Availity to see whether you have been affected by these audits. Responses are due oct. 15. Take the survey.
