Get Ready For Competitive Bidding!
The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA), enacted on July 15, 2008, made limited changes to the Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program, including a requirement that competition to re-bid Round 1 occur in 2009. On January 16, 2009, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued an interim final rule with comment period that incorporates into regulations only those provisions of MIPPA related to the DMEPOS competitive bidding program that are self-implementing and necessary to conduct the Round 1 rebid competition in 2009. That rule became effective on April 18, 2009.

Take Action Now to Prepare for the Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program SE0915
In order to participate in the 2009 Round 1 Rebid of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program, suppliers will be required to register in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) security system known as the Individuals Authorized Access to the CMS Computer Services (IACS). This includes suppliers that bid in the first round of competition in 2007 and are interested in competing in the Round 1 Rebid. CMS urges suppliers' planning to bid in the 2009 bidding cycle to be sure that they have provided the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) an updated CMS-855S (Medicare Enrollment Application), with any changes made concerning their Authorized Official(s) information and correspondence mailing address which have occured since their last CMS-855S submission. The accuracy of this data is critical for successful bidder registration.
