Description
Beginning on July 1, Medicare beneficiaries in 10 metropolitan areas (Charlotte, North Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri; Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Orlando, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Riverside, California; and San Juan, Puerto Rico) will have to confront the complexities of the new competitive bidding program for durable medical equipment prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) under Medicare Part B. In many instances, they will likely have to say good-bye to the people who have been supplying their oxygen and servicing their wheelchairs and search for one of the handful of suppliers who managed to submit bids lower than most of their competitors. Congress mandated the competitive bidding program in 2003 as a way to save money and to inject market forces into the establishment of payment levels for medical equipment. In addition to the 10 metro areas in the first round, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced a second round of competitive bidding for 2009 that will include 70 more areas, including Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York--the three largest metropolitan regions in the nation
