Summary
Nebraska Medicaid has implemented an immediate temporary moratorium on new DMEPOS provider enrollment, effective October 1, 2026. Existing compliant providers may continue serving beneficiaries, but new medical supply businesses and current suppliers opening new locations cannot enroll for six months. The moratorium may be extended in six-month increments if fraud/abuse trends continue.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must inform any medical supply vendors or DMEPOS suppliers seeking new Nebraska Medicaid enrollment that applications will be denied due to the temporary moratorium. Update provider communications and intake processes to reflect this restriction. Flag any pending DMEPOS enrollment applications for Nebraska Medicaid as subject to denial. No claims processing changes are required for currently enrolled DMEPOS providers. Monitor for the six-month moratorium lift date (approximately April 1, 2027) to resume normal enrollment processing.
