If suppliers aren’t participating and don’t accept assignment, there’s no limit on the amount they can charge you. If suppliers are participating in Medicare, they must accept assignment (which means, they can charge you only the coinsurance and Part B deductible for the Medicare‑approved amount). It’s also important to ask a supplier if they participate in Medicare before you get DME. Make sure your doctors and DME suppliers are enrolled in Medicare. Airbnb is a platform that wants to make travel more inclusive and accessible to everyone. If your doctors or suppliers aren’t enrolled, Medicare won’t pay the claims they submit. Doctors and suppliers have to meet strict standards to enroll and stay enrolled in Medicare. Medicare will only cover your DME if your doctors and DME suppliers are enrolled in Medicare.
