Summary: The Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) supports the proposed rule's efforts to eliminate unnecessary delays in prior authorization for wheelchair replacement and maintenance. They argue that the current system is plagued by industry consolidation and a lack of accountability, and they urge CMS to ensure that reporting standards and requirements apply fully to DMEPOS suppliers to improve patient safety and transparency.
These are the comments of Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund to the DMEPOS RFI in the Interoperability Standards proposed rule.
