Answer 2

In certain parts of the country, medicare patients that need DME, prosthetics, orthotics and certain other supplies, like blood gluclose monitors and oxygen, will have to get these supplies from medicare contracted suppliers.

Here  is a link that you can plug in your zip code to see if you are in the affected area:

There is also a link tell you about the program, what supples are included and who to contact if you have further questions.

Answer 3

What exactly do you mean, by, "what is going on"?  If they're not a medicare provider, Medicare won't pay them.  Period.
