Summary
Maryland Medicaid amended regulations for disposable medical supplies and durable medical equipment, implementing a new payment methodology to replace fee schedules, changing preauthorization requirements (items over $750 need written preauth except pediatric items), and introducing equipment recycling programs with identification tags.
Action Required
This is a historical Maryland Medicaid policy from 1998 that should not require current action unless your practice serves Maryland Medicaid patients with legacy equipment. If applicable, ensure equipment over $750 has proper preauthorization and identification tags are used on wheelchairs, hospital beds, communication devices, adaptive equipment, suction machines, scooters, infusion pumps, and respiratory equipment.
