The rules state that for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) items that 
require a written order prior to delivery (WOPD), the supplier must have received a signed standard written 
order before the item is delivered to a beneficiary. As a condition for payment, Medicare requires that a treating 
practitioner have a face-to-face encounter with a beneficiary within the 6 months prior to prescribing items that 
appear on the required list. The face-to-face encounter must support payment for the item(s) 
ordered/prescribed, and be documented in the pertinent portion of the medical record (for example, history, 
physical examination, diagnostic tests, summary of findings, progress notes, treatment plans or other sources of 
information that may be appropriate). The supporting documentation must include subjective and objective 
beneficiary specific information used for diagnosing, treating, or managing a clinical condition for which the 
DMEPOS is ordered. You can find these rules in Local Coverage Determination (LCD) Spinal Orthoses: TLSO 
and LSO (L33790) and Local Coverage Article (LCA) Standard Documentation Requirements for All Claims 
Submitted to DME MACs (A55426).
