Medicare pays for most DMEPOS through fee schedules based on suppliers' previous charges to Medicare. The fee schedule payment is generally equal to 80 percent of the lesser of either the supplier's actual charge or the Medicare fee schedule for a particular item or service. In general, Medicare beneficiaries are responsible for paying the supplier the remaining 20 percent-the coinsurance.
