Medicare Supplier

A Medicare supplier is a certified CMS healthcare provider selling or offering medical equipment suppliers or other healthcare entities that participate in the Medicare program and provide healthcare services or supplies to Medicare beneficiaries. A Medicare supplier is any business, individual, or organization certified by CMS that provides you with a medical good or service, excluding situations where you are an inpatient at a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

Suppliers that participate in Medicare must meet certain eligibility requirements and enroll in the program to be able to receive payment from Medicare for the services or supplies they provide.

Examples of Medicare suppliers may include:

• Doctors and other healthcare providers who treat Medicare patients
• Hospitals and other inpatient facilities that provide services to Medicare patients
• Skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes that provide long-term care to Medicare patients
• Home health agencies that provide home health services to Medicare patients
• Durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers that provide medical equipment and supplies to Medicare patients, such as wheelchairs, oxygen equipment, and diabetic supplies

Medicare suppliers must follow certain rules and regulations regarding the types of services or supplies they can provide, the amount they can charge for these services or supplies, and how they bill Medicare for these services or supplies.
