"The end result is that patients are finding it more difficult to access the treatments they need.  According to Medicare’s data, the number of oxygen rental patients declined by 33 percent between 2008 and 2014, while the number of COPD diagnoses increased by 59 percent. Because the only treatment for COPD in its later stages is home oxygen therapy, the increase in diagnosis and the decrease in patients using the services suggests that patients aren’t getting access to the care necessary to remain at home."

CMS Proposes Capped Rental Rule for DME -- HME Business:

"The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid funding have proposed a rule to rent “routinely purchased” DME items falling under the three-year minimum lifetime requirement and that have allowables of more than $150.

Under the proposed rule, Medicare would only purchase an item outright if its statistics show that the agency purchased the item 75 percent or more of the time during the period of July 1986 through June 1987. If not, those items would be reimbursed on a 13-month capped rental basis."
