DME Swipe Card Pilot Project ends in the Indianapolis area

National Government Services ended the DME Swipe Card Pilot Project on April 30, and providers should no longer use the cards. The pilot captured data using credit card terminals when DMEPOS—durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies—items were ordered by Part B physicians and filled by DME suppliers in the Indianapolis area. National Government Services is evaluating the project to determine how it can be used in the future to fight fraud in the Medicare program.
