Description

To achieve Medicare savings for DME, an Act required that the CMS implement the competitive bidding program (CBP) for certain DME. In 2008, an Act terminated the first round of supplier contracts and required CMS to repeat the CBP round 1 -- referred to as the round 1 rebid, resulting in the award of contracts to suppliers with payments that began Jan. 1, 2011. This report reviews: (1) the outcomes of the CBP round 1 rebid process; (2) the effect of the CBP round 1 rebid on DME suppliers; (3) how the CBP round 1 rebid has affected Medicare beneficiary access to and satisfaction with selected DME; and (4) the extent to which the CBP round 1 rebid has affected the utilization of selected DME items. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.
