Summary
Florida has imposed a 6-month moratorium on new Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider enrollment effective March 20, 2026. No new DME provider applications will be accepted after this date, though existing providers can continue billing and applications submitted before March 20th will still be processed.
Action Required
Immediately: Verify all DME suppliers in your network are currently enrolled Florida Medicaid providers. If your practice refers patients to DME suppliers, confirm their enrollment status before March 20, 2026. For any patients needing DME services after the moratorium, ensure referrals go only to existing enrolled providers. Contact Florida Medicaid Helpline at (877) 254-1055 if patients report difficulty accessing DME services.
