This was just anno9unced today. Thanks to Elizabeth Carlstrom for sharing
it with the list so quickly.
The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) mandated a new method of Medicare
reimbursement for certain durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics
and supplies (DMEPOS). This method is based on a competitive bidding
process which provides for Medicare payment to those suppliers with winning
bids for specific geographic areas. Today, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the 70 areas across the nation that will
be included in the second phase of the competitive bidding program. CMS
expects to begin round two pre-bidding activities, such as announcing the
specific zip codes that constitute the competitive bidding areas, specific
items in each product category, and bidder education and registration for
user IDs and passwords, in the spring of 2008. The bidding period is
expected to run 60 days and is planned to begin in the summer of 2008. The
final deadline for all suppliers to obtain an initial accreditation is
September 30, 2009. However, suppliers that want to participate in this
second phase of the competitive bidding program will have to be accredited
well in advance of that deadline to be awarded a contract with CMS. A more
detailed timeline will be provided as the pre-bidding activities begin.
