Relating to billing and reimbursement for certain medical equipment, devices, and supplies provided to Medicare enrollees; creating a criminal offense.

HB 3150 sets rules for billing Medicare patients in Texas for durable medical equipment (like wheelchairs or oxygen tanks), orthotic devices (custom braces), and prosthetic devices (artificial limbs). It restricts nonparticipating suppliers (those not enrolled in Medicare as standard providers) from charging patients more than 115% of the Medicare-approved amount without written consent and upfront payment. The bill requires clear notices to patients about Medicare's 80% reimbursement rate and creates a criminal offense for violations of these billing rules. This directly affects Medicare enrollees who receive such equipment and the suppliers who provide it.
