| Centers for Medicare & Medicaid ServicesSpecial Open Door Forum: Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program Bidders Conference:Open Call Wednesday, October 14, 20093:30 pm-4:30 pm Eastern TimeConference Call Only (CMS Message 200910-19) Please join us for the seventh in a series of eight Special Open Door Forum (ODF) bidders conferences for the Round 1 Rebid of the Medicare durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) competitive bidding program. At this Special ODF, we will respond to prospective bidders questions about the competitive bidding process. If you have not done so already, please submit your questions to CMS at cbic.teleconference@PalmettoGBA.com. Reminder: Time is running out to register for user IDs and passwords. The registration deadline for Authorized Officials (AOs) was September 14, 2009. If your AO has not yet registered, we cannot guarantee that he or she will be able to complete the registration process before registration closes on November 4, 2009 at 9 p.m. EST. This is especially a concern if the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) record for your company is not current and accurate. AOs should register now to allow Backup Authorized Officials and End Users time to register. In addition, suppliers whose AOs do not register now run the risk of experiencing delays in accessing the on-line bidding system to get a bidder number and thereby missing the opportunity to submit financial documents by the Covered Document Review Date (CDRD). Register now at http://www.dmecompetitivebid.com/. Background: On August 3, 2009, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) issued the bidding timeline for the Round 1 Rebid of the DMEPOS competitive bidding program and initiated a comprehensive bidder education campaign. CMS Competitive Bidding Implementation Contractor (CBIC) is the focal point for bidder education. Please visit the CBIC's dedicated website, http://www.dmecompetitivebid.com/, for important information, including bidding rules, user guides, frequently asked questions, policy fact sheets, checklists, and bidding information charts. The CBIC toll-free help desk, 1‑877‑577‑5331, is open to help bidders with all of their questions and concerns. All suppliers interested in bidding are urged to sign up for e-mail updates on the home page of the CBIC website. We look forward to your participation.
