Amounts are the Medicare DMEPOS fee-schedule allowables effective April 2026.
Medicare typically pays 80% of the allowable after the Part B deductible; the patient owes 20%.
A 2% sequestration reduction applies to the Medicare share. Former competitive-bidding-area
adjustments and non-continental rates can differ — verify with your DME MAC.
