Bechtel Medical Buyer Map

Public Medicare supplier enrollment data, as published October 11, 2026 and read October 13, 2026. A location counts when its listed supplies include negative pressure wound therapy pumps or supplies. One device maker's own supplier locations are left out. The data has no parent company, so related companies under different legal names count separately, and hospital ownership counts only where the name shows it.

Sign-off at independents and chains is read from how those businesses are run, not stated in one public source. Home health roles follow the Medicare rules for home health agencies.

Independent suppliers weigh whether Medicare's coding contractor has cleared the pump for the NPWT pump code, since Medicare's coverage policy denies a pump without that designation. They weigh how the monthly rental will run, with the clinician's wound measurements due each month, and whether the wound clinics and discharge planners who send them patients will order it.

National and regional chains weigh one standard pump line across every branch, delivery on the day a patient leaves the hospital, and keeping rented pumps billable month to month inside the Medicare limits.

Pharmacies that supply DME weigh Medicare accreditation, which Medicare's latest rule moves to every year, or the pharmacy exemption, which holds only while DME billing stays a small share of pharmacy sales. They also weigh whether they can run a monthly pump rental with wound measurements each month, which is new work next to shelf supplies.

Hospital and health system owned DME weighs continuity from the hospital bed to home. Medicare covers a pump started in the hospital when it is ordered to continue at home, and the four month limit counts the hospital days. They also weigh fit with what the inpatient wound teams already use, the clinical evidence, and cost against the current contract.

Home health and infusion companies weigh who bills what. Since January 2024 a disposable NPWT device is paid separately on the home health claim, while a pump is a Medicare Part B rental billed by a DME supplier. They also weigh nursing time, because Medicare keeps paying for a pump only while a licensed clinician checks the wound, handles dressing changes and records measurements every month.

From Medicare's NPWT coverage policy and its billing article, Medicare's home health payment notice and agency rules, its pharmacy accreditation exemption fact sheet, and public trade association and supplier pages.

A new wound therapy device reaches a DME supplier's line in three steps. Medicare's coding contractor confirms which billing code it uses. The supplier checks it against the Medicare coverage rules for NPWT. Then the wound clinics, surgeons and discharge planners who refer patients agree to order it.

Twelve of the jurisdictions counted sit in one Medicare DME region and Virginia sits in another, but one joint NPWT coverage policy applies in both. Medicare's latest rule also requires DME suppliers to be reaccredited every year instead of every three years.
