Subject: [OANDP-L] Medicare Competitive Bidding
Hello List
As most of you know, national competitive bidding for off the
shelf
orthotics will become reality in the 10 largest metropolitan areas in
2007 and include the 80 largest in 2009. I read where CMS is currently
soliciting nominations to serve on the Program Advisory Oversight
Committee that will provide advice on many aspects of the implementation
of this program. They are looking for individuals with expertise in DME,
prosthetics, orthotics or supplies.
My question is directed to the usual group of organizations (ABC,
AAOP, AOPA, NAAOP, BOC,etc., individuals, consumers and consumer
advocates (Mr.
Barr?). Who is being nominated? If my understanding is correct, a
primary issue is or should be to decide just what off the shelf means,
a matter the Negotiated Rulemaking Committee could not resolve.
Competitive Bidding promises to be more black and white. Does anyone
know an easy way to find out who from allied or not so allied health
care fields might be sitting on this commettee?
Any general thoughts or comments? Nominations apparently must be
received by July 2
