hme 2026

Things are changing, and as a healthcare professional, you need to be aware. There are some shifts on the horizon, especially for home medical equipment suppliers, who already have to navigate a complicated maze of regulations and rules. You want your patients to receive the care that they need, while still getting paid for your work; so, when it’s tough to figure out your next steps, reach out to a team that understands the way things are moving in 2026.

Here at Medical Auditing Solutions, we work with providers to find a more effective path. In the world of HME, it can be easy to slip up, leading to claim denials, audits, and even potential fines or other financial penalties. How you do business is an important part of being a provider or supplier, so make sure that you’ve got someone to help you understand your steps. And when you’ve got questions about your HME billing, we’re here for you.

Come see us at the 2025 MAMES Conference! Schedule an appointment to talk with Angela while you’re there.

A Highly Regulated Industry Can Be Confusing

You have enough to deal with each day trying to help people live longer, healthier lives. Unfortunately, if you work in home medical equipment, though, you also need to know how to play by the rules. Your industry is heavily regulated on multiple fronts, so helping people find the solutions they need takes some effort. Compliance and good processes are the key in HME businesses.

But that’s not why you decided to do what you do. When you are spending all of your time on your paperwork, it can mean taking time away from patients. An inefficient office is less likely to make you money, so ask us how an effective compliance training solution can help you to focus more on what counts: the people.

Home Medical Equipment Rules Are Changing

We are creeping closer and closer to 2026, and you would think that, by now, all the rules for 2026 would be in place. The final rule typically comes at the later part of October or early into November.  This is critical to stay informed, follow us, associations and CMS for updates and plans related to competitive bidding, annual accreditation and more.

Even though we’re still waiting on the final wording, our office can still help you to understand the landscape. We’ll be at the MAMES (Midwest Association for Medical Equipment Services & Supplies) Fall Conference this October 1st-3rd, so schedule an appointment and we can talk about 2026. Appointments are necessary one afternoon, so set your time here:
