Review of District of Columbia Medicaid Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies Provider Enrollment Practices

We identified 10 District of Columbia (District) Medicaid providers whose Medicare supplier numbers were in revoked status. The Department of Health Care Finance (State agency) concurred with our recommendation to implement a procedure to check the status of providers' Medicare supplier numbers and to take the appropriate action in accordance with District regulations when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has revoked a Medicare supplier's number.
