1. Operates its business and furnishes Medicare-covered items in compliance with all Federal and State licensure and regulatory requirements;
2. Has not made, or caused to be made, any false statement or misrepresentation of a material fact on its application for billing privileges. (The
supplier must provide complete and accurate information in response to questions on its application for billing privileges. The supplier must
report to HCFA any changes in information supplied on the application within 30 days of the change.);
3. Must have the application for billing privileges signed by an individual whose signature binds a supplier;
4. Fills orders, fabricates, or fits items from its own inventory or by contracting with other companies for the purchase of items necessary to fill
the order. If it does, it must provide, upon request, copies of contracts or other documentation showing compliance with this standard . A

other Federal Government Executive Branch procurement or non-procurement program or activity;
5. Advises beneficiaries that they may either rent or purchase inexpensive or routinely purchased durable medical equipment, and of the purchase
option for capped rental durable medical equipment, as defined in §414.220(a) of this subchapter. (The supplier must provide, upon request,
documentation that it has provided beneficiaries with this information, in the form of copies of letters, logs, or signed notices);
6. Honors all warranties expressed or implied under applicable State law. A supplier must not charge the beneficiary or the Medicare program for
the repair or replacement of Medicare covered items or for services covered under warranty. This standard applies to all purchased and rented
items, including capped rental items, as described in §414.229 of this subchapter. The supplier must provide, upon request, documentation
that it has provided beneficiaries with information about Medicare covered items covered under warranty, in the form of copies of letters, logs,
or signed notices;
7. Maintains a physical facility on an appropriate site. The physical facility must contain space for storing business records including the
supplier’s delivery, maintenance, and beneficiary communication records. For purposes of this standard, a post office box or commercial
mailbox is not considered a physical facility. In the case of a multi-site supplier, records may be maintained at a centralized location.
8. Permits HCFA, or its agents to conduct on-site inspections to ascertain supplier compliance with the requirements of this section. The supplier
location must be accessible during reasonable business hours to beneficiaries and to HCFA, and must maintain a visible sign and posted hours
of operation.
9. Maintains a primary business telephone listing the name of the business locally or toll-free for beneficiaries. The supplier must furnish
information to beneficiaries at the time of delivery of items on how the beneficiary can contact the supplier by telephone. The exclusive use of
a beeper number, answering service, pager, facsimile machine, car phone, or an answering machine may not be used as the primary business
telephone for the purpose of this regulation;
10. Has a comprehensive liability insurance policy in the amount of at least $300,000 that covers both the supplier’s place of business and all
customers and employees of the supplier. In the case of a supplier that manufactures its own items, this insurance must also cover product
liability and completed operations. Failure to maintain required insurance at all times will result in revocation of the supplier’s billing privileges
retroactive to the date the insurance lapsed;
11. Must agree not to contact a beneficiary by telephone when supplying a Medicare-covered item unless one of the following applies:
(i) The individual has given written permission to the supplier to contact them by telephone concerning the furnishing of Medicare-covered
item that is to be rented or purchased.
(ii) The supplier has furnished a Medicare-covered item to the individual and the supplier is contacting the individual to coordinate the
delivery of the item.
(iii) If the contact concerns the furnishing of a Medicare-covered item other than a covered item already furnished to the individual, the
supplier has furnished at least one covered item to the individual during the 15-month period preceding the date on which the supplier
makes such contact
12. Must be responsible for the delivery of Medicare covered items to beneficiaries and maintain proof of delivery. The supplier must document
that it or another qualified party has at an appropriate time, provided beneficiaries with necessary information and instructions to use
Medicare-covered items safely and effectively;

regarding complaints or questions;

19. Must have a complaint resolution protocol to address beneficiary complaints that relate to supplier standards in paragraph (c) of this section
and keep written complaints, related correspondence and any notes of actions taken in response to written and oral complaints. Failure to
maintain such information may be considered evidence that supplier standards have not been met. (This information must be kept at its
physical facility and made available to HCFA, upon request.);
