The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) instructed the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) to begin the DMEPOS demonstration project on November 1. This demonstration project involves all DMEPOS suppliers located in the following counties:
South Florida – Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach
Southern California – Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino
Each DMEPOS supplier in the demonstration locales is required to submit a CMS 855S Medicare enrollment application to the NSC within 30 days after the NSC requests such data.
