The #Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is implementing a temporary moratorium on the enrollment of new Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) providers. This action aligns with federal guidance issued through CMS-6099-N and is authorized under 42 CFR 455.470. ODM is implementing this optional moratorium to support federal program integrity efforts and to ensure consistent oversight of high-risk provider types.

Moratorium Effective Dates: June 10, 2026, through December 10, 2026.

What This Means for #Ohio #Medicaid Providers and Stakeholders:

ODM will not accept new Medicaid enrollment applications for DMEPOS suppliers during the moratorium.

Existing enrolled providers may request a DMEPOS specialty during this period.
Currently enrolled DMEPOS providers may continue to provide services, bill Medicaid, and update their provider information as needed.

Revalidations and changes to existing provider records will continue to be processed.

Exceptions are allowed as permitted under 42 CFR 424.570(a)(1)(iii) and 42 CFR 424.550.
