Abstract
Medicare reimbursement and utilization for ostomy supplies have undergone dramatic change in the last year. This article provides an introduction for health care professionals to the Medicare system, Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers, Medicare participating and nonparticipating suppliers, and practical examples of how reimbursement may affect the selection of ostomy products. The topics covered refer to Medicare Part B. ET nurses must be cognizant of the ongoing changes in reimbursement and must collaborate with suppliers, manufacturers, and other health care professionals to provide patients with the highest quality care, products, and services.
