Standard Written Order Policy in Durable Medical Equipment
Summary
Missouri's MO HealthNet Division issued a Medicaid bulletin on October 26, 2026, designated 49-22, addressing standard written order policy for DME. The bulletin defines or revises the written order requirements that DME suppliers must obtain and retain before billing Missouri Medicaid for covered equipment.
What this may mean
DME suppliers billing Missouri Medicaid are subject to specific written order documentation requirements under the updated policy, and claims submitted without a compliant standard written order are subject to denial or recoupment. The policy aligns with federal CMS requirements for written orders as a condition of DME payment.
