CMS DMEPOS Enrollment Moratorium Has Expired

CMS DMEPOS Enrollment Moratorium Has Expired

(8/28/26) The six-month nationwide Medicare enrollment moratorium on certain DMEPOS supplier types has expired, and enrollment applications are once again being accepted. 

The moratorium was implemented by CMS in February 2026 as part of ongoing efforts to address fraud, waste, and abuse within the DMEPOS supplier community. 

What Providers Should Know

  • Medicare enrollment applications for affected DMEPOS supplier types are being accepted again. 
  • Organizations planning expansion, new locations, or future DMEPOS Competitive Bidding opportunities should review enrollment requirements and timelines. 
  • Suppliers should ensure enrollment information, licensing, accreditation, and supporting documentation are current and complete. 

As providers evaluate next steps, CHAP remains committed to supporting organizations through accreditation and ongoing compliance readiness.

Looking Ahead

CHAP’s next HME/DMEPOS Accreditation Intensive will take place October 13-14, offering practical education for providers, consultants, and organizations preparing for future growth and enrollment opportunities.
