Expansion of the Current Scope of Editing for Ordering/Referring Providers for DMEPOS Supplier Claims
This article describes the implementation of system edits to assure that DMEPOS suppliers bill for items or services only when those items or services are ordered or referred by physician and non-physician practitioners who are eligible to order/refer such services. Be sure billing staff are aware of these changes that will impact DMEPOS claims; which could result in claim error messages between 10/05/2009-01/03/2010 or claim rejections 01/04/2010 and thereafter.

Time is Running Out for Authorized Officials to Register for DMEPOS Competitive Bidding
The target deadline for Authorized Officials (AOs) to register for the Round 1 Rebid of the Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program was September 14, 2009. All suppliers interested in bidding must designate one AO from those listed on the CMS-855S enrollment form to act as their AO for registration purposes. If you are a supplier interested in bidding and your designated AO has not yet registered, he or she should register now. Suppliers whose AOs do not register will not be able to bid when bidding opens. AOs who do not register now may not have time to designate other employees to assist with bidding.
