How can I accept medicare as payment when I sell orthopedic shoes?
Discount Medical Scrubs
Hi,
We own a uniform store in New York, NY. We sell things like restaurant uniforms/aprons, medical gear/scrubs, work shoes/boots, postal uniforms, etc. We also sell orthopedic shoes. We want to be able to accept medicare as payment. We aren't a doctor's office and don't have patient files so applying to be a DMEPOS supplier seems to be way more intricate than it needs to be. There are currently competitors in our area that only sell orthopedic shoes also and are able to accept medicare. Can an expert in the field point us in the right direction?

You have to apply to Medicare to be a contracted medical supplier. Right now, there is a lot of fraud with medical suppliers. I dont know if that would affect your getting a Medicare contractor number.

Shouldn’t you be talking to the Medicare people? I’m sure they can help.
