CMS has released the 2010 Medicare durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) fee schedule.  According to a CMS transmittal explaining the 2010 DMEPOS fee schedule update, the DMEPOS fee schedule amounts are being updated for 2010 by the percentage increase in the consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) for the 12-month period ending June 2009. Since the change in the CPI-U for this period is negative (-1.41%), the percentage increase in the CPI-U used to update the DMEPOS fee schedule amounts for 2010 is 0 percent.
