- Order date (42 CFR 410.38(d)(1)(i)(D))
- Treating practitioner name or NPI (42 CFR 410.38(d)(1)(i)(E))
- Treating practitioner signature (42 CFR 410.38(d)(1)(i)(F))
F2F + WOPD REQUIRED E0433 is on Medicare's Required Face-to-Face & WOPD List (Oxygen equipment — list effective 2026-04-13, 83 items). Two extra conditions of payment apply:
