# Medicare DME by Geography & Service (avg allowed/payment per HCPCS)

`medicare_silver.fact_dme_payment_by_geo` · Medicare Advantage, Part D, Medicaid · status live · 38,675 rows

CMS public-use file "Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Devices & Supplies - by Geography and Service" — annual, claims-derived average Medicare ALLOWED and PAYMENT per DME HCPCS at national + per-state granularity, with submitted charge, standardized payment, and provider/supplier/beneficiary/claim/service counts. This is the pragmatic Medicare DME benchmark for repricing DME claim lines (the lines that had no Medicare anchor). NOTE: it is the claims-derived average, NOT the contractual DMEPOS Fee Schedule price list (a separate quarterly cms.gov ZIP, not yet ingested).

**Grain.** One row per (geography [National|State], HCPCS, rental-indicator) per data year.
