The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced limited proposed regulatory provisions for the Medicare durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) competitive bidding program. These proposals include a proposed administrative process for contract suppliers whose contracts were terminated by the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 to submit claims for any applicable damages and proposed grandfathering provision updates. These proposed provisions are found in Section O of the Physician Fee Schedule and Other Revisions to Part B regulation (CMS-1413-P), which is now on display at the Office of the Federal Register.
Visit the CMS website at www.cms.hhs.gov/center/dme.asp to view the rule and obtain additional information.
