DMEPOS Geographic Classifications

Mapping tool helps providers see DMEPOS Geographic Classifications

One of the various services VGM will be showing at its booth is a tool its VGM Government Relations group designed to help providers assess where CMS has deemed rural, non-rural and competitive bidding areas to be. Data is compiled from multiple public sources, and the maps are divided into four categories and contain the locations of critical access hospitals. Accessible on the VGM D.C. Link website under the Resource Center tab, interactive maps for all 50 states help providers determine under which ZIP code a category falls.
