The purpose of this bulletin is to highlight changes to rates for Durable Medical Equipment and Supplies.  The rate document has been updated and is now available on the DMAS website here. Please refer to each section of the  rate document for changes to that section.  All changes are noted in BOLD with effective dates noted at the bottom of each document.  All competitive bid rates are highlighted in blue.  The  rates are effective 01/01/2023.  Claims submitted prior to the date of this memo for service dates back to 01/01/2023 will be reprocessed.

If providers are unsure of the appropriate code to use for a particular item, one resource is the DME classification site, which is designed to assist providers with DME coding.  Providers can search by different criteria and by brand name. The website can be accessed at https://www.dmepdac.com/dmecsapp/do/search.
