BIDDER EDUCATION CAMPAIGN
CMS is launching an intensive bidder education campaign designed to ensure that DMEPOS suppliers interested in bidding get all the information they need to submit a complete bid in a timely manner. CMS will focus initially on preparing suppliers for the registration period. As suppliers get registered for the competitive bidding process, CMS education and outreach efforts will intensify with particular focus on information specific to registered bidders and the bidding process.
CMS's Competitive Bidding Implementation Contractor (CBIC) will be the focal point for bidder education. The CBIC has a dedicated Web site, www.dmecompetitivebid.com, which will include a comprehensive array of important information for suppliers, 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 now open to help bidders with all of their questions and concerns. All suppliers interested in bidding are urged to visit the CBIC Web site to sign up for e-mail updates.
