Summary
Kentucky Medicaid is changing the name of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers to Medical Supplies, Equipment, and Appliances (MSEA) providers. This is a required name change per CMS that will appear on regulations, state plan amendments, and fee schedules.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing operations. This is a terminology change only - Provider Type 90 remains the same. Monitor future communications for any system updates that may reference MSEA instead of DME in Kentucky Medicaid documentation.
