What you need to know!  
SWO/Final Rule 1713 Update

Effective 1/1/20, CMS updated Standard Documentation Requirements (SDR) Article A55426 attached to the Therapeutic Shoes for Persons with Diabetes (TSPD) LCD.  The updated SDR has replace the Detailed Written Order (DWO) with a Standard Written Order (SWO).  The purpose was to reduce the requirements of what needs to be documented on the order. In addition, for other DMEPOS items, the SWO creates one standard order instead of several different variations that existed depending on the DMEPOS item.
