DMEPOS Relief Act of 2025
This bill extends current Medicare payment rates for durable medical equipment (like wheelchairs and oxygen) in non-rural areas through December 2025. It delays implementing a new payment rule for all areas until January 2026. The law directly affects Medicare beneficiaries needing equipment and the suppliers who provide it by maintaining existing reimbursement rates for an additional year. This avoids immediate payment reductions for non-rural areas while postponing the full transition to new rates.
