In 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have implemented significant updates to the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) fee schedule. These changes affect reimbursement rates and introduce new coding requirements, directly impacting podiatry practices that provide DME services. Staying abreast of these updates is essential to ensure accurate billing and compliance. 

Additionally, the podiatry field has seen revisions in coding practices, particularly concerning debridement services and the application of modifiers. Understanding the correct usage of Modifier 25 is crucial, as its misuse can lead to claim denials and potential audits. Proper documentation and adherence to the latest coding guidelines are paramount to maintain compliance and optimize reimbursement. 

Telehealth services have also undergone regulatory changes post-Public Health Emergency (PHE). While some flexibilities have been extended, others have been modified or rescinded. Podiatry practices must familiarize themselves with the current telehealth policies to effectively integrate these services and ensure they meet all compliance requirements.
