Both the US House and Senate are expected to bring forth and vote on a proposed 90-day extension for DME accreditation before the deadline this Thursday. If approved, this extension would buy pharmacies more time until the accreditation issue can be formally addressed in health care reform legislation.
Current drafts of health care reform legislation include varying proposals that would grant pharmacies a limited exemption based on either specific DME products or a max percentage of total sales accounted for by DME sales.
