Last week CMS announced new initiatives to deter criminal elements from abusing the Medicare benefit by posing as legitimate DMEPOS suppliers. CMS is looking to stakeholders to provide input.

Medtrade starts today (Monday, March 2) with Workshops ($60 + Advance Registration) and educational sessions (available to all with a Conference Pass).

John Quinlan earned the Van Miller Homecare Champion Award + J Med Mixer at Medtrade and BOC Award accepting nominations.

DME suppliers need to be creative and “think outside the box.” This includes expansion and diversification.

DME providers should not be scared to change their processes and adopt AI. Medtrade attendees can talk about the possibilities with Medtrade exhibitor Notable Systems.

“Operation Gold Rush” refers to a large 2025 DOJ investigation targeting a transnational criminal organization (TCO) behind a multi-billion dollar Medicare fraud scheme.
