Prior authorization

PA REQUIRED K0808 is on Medicare's DMEPOS Required Prior Authorization List (Power Mobility Devices — nationwide since 2022-04-13).

Claims for this item without an affirmed prior-authorization decision are automatically denied (commonly surfacing as CO-197). Submit the PA request to your DME MAC with the order and supporting clinical documentation before delivery.

Order readiness — what the written order must contain

Every Medicare DMEPOS claim needs a Standard Written Order with all six elements (42 CFR 410.38(d)):

  • Beneficiary name or Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) (42 CFR 410.38(d)(1)(i)(A))
  • General description of the item (42 CFR 410.38(d)(1)(i)(B))
  • Quantity to be dispensed, if applicable (42 CFR 410.38(d)(1)(i)(C))
  • 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 K0808 is on Medicare's Required Face-to-Face & WOPD List (Power Mobility Devices — CMS Required F2F & WOPD List — 83 items in force on 2026-10-25; 22 more from 2026-10-28; sources: CMS list effective 2026-04-13 (91 FR 1250), CMS-6109-N (91 FR 47972)). Two extra conditions of payment apply:

  • Face-to-face encounter (in-person or telehealth) with the treating practitioner within the 6 months before the order date
  • Written order communicated to the supplier before delivery (WOPD)

Amounts are the Medicare DMEPOS fee-schedule allowables effective October 2026 (CMS DMEPOS Fee Schedule October 2026 (DME26-D)). 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.

Unit limit (MUE)

Medicare's Medically Unlikely Edit caps K0808 at 1 unit per date of service (absolute). Units above the MUE deny — typically as CO-151. Rationale: Code Descriptor / CPT Instruction.
