Download or read book Your Guide to Medicare's Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program written by U. S. Department Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare's Competitive Bidding Program for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) changes the amount Medicare pays for certain DMEPOS items and makes changes to which suppliers Medicare will pay to supply these items to you. The first phase of the program is already in effect in 9 areas of the country. Starting July 2013, Medicare is scheduled to expand the competitive bidding program to more areas. The program replaces the outdated, inflated fee-schedule prices Medicare is currently paying with lower, more accurate prices. Under this program, suppliers submit bids to provide certain medical equipment and supplies at a lower price than what Medicare pays for these items now. Medicare uses these bids to set the amount it will pay for those equipment and supplies under the competitive bidding program. Qualified, accredited suppliers with winning bids are chosen as Medicare contract suppliers. The program: Helps you and Medicare save money; Ensures that you have access to quality medical equipment, supplies, and services from suppliers you can trust; Helps limit fraud and abuse in the Medicare Program. If you have Original Medicare, live in one of the competitive bidding areas, and use equipment or supplies included under the program (or get the items while visiting a competitive bidding area), you generally must use Medicare contract suppliers if you want Medicare to help pay for the item. If you live in one of the areas where the program is expanding and you're renting oxygen or certain other durable medical equipment (DME) at the time the program starts, you'll be able to continue renting these items from your current supplier if that supplier becomes a contract supplier or decides to participate in the program as a "grandfathered" supplier. If you live in (or get these items while visiting) these areas and don't use a Medicare contract or a grandfathered supplier, Medicare won't pay for the item, and you may have to pay full price. It's important to know if you're affected by this program to make sure Medicare will help pay for your item and to avoid any disruption of service. The competitive bidding program applies to Original Medicare only. If you're enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO), your plan will notify you if your supplier is changing. If you're not sure, contact your plan. Also available in Spanish.

Download or read book Medicare: Competitive Bidding for Medical Equipment and Supplies Could Reduce Program Payments, But Adequate Oversight Is Critical written by Kathleen M. King and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare has paid higher than market rates for medical equip. and supplies provided to beneficiaries under Medicare Part B. Medicare has used fee schedules based on historical charges to set payment amounts. But this approach lacks flexibility to keep pace with market changes and increases costs to the fed. gov¿t. CMS is required to test competitive bidding as a new way to set payments. CMS did this through a demonstration in two locations in which suppliers could compete on the basis of price and other factors for the right to provide their products. This testimony describes the effects that competitive bidding could have on Medicare program payments and suppliers and the need for adequate oversight to ensure quality and access. Illustrations.

This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, Medicare spent $8.3 billion for durable medical equipment (DME) and related supplies. To reduce spending, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) required that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) phase in, with several rounds of bidding, a large-scale competitive bidding program (CBP) for certain DME and other items. DME suppliers began bidding in round 1 of the CBP on May 15, 2007. After contracts were awarded, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA), was enacted on July 15, 2008. Because of numerous concerns MIPPA delayed the program, terminated supplier contracts, and required CMS to begin the CBP round 1 rebid in 2009. GAO was asked to report on (1) the results of CBP round 1, (2) the major challenges CMS had in conducting CBP round 1, and (3) the steps CMS has taken to improve future CBP rounds. GAO reviewed CMS data and relevant laws and regulations, and interviewed officials from CMS and its contractors, and DME suppliers and professional associations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare pays for most DMEPOS through fee schedules based on suppliers' previous charges to Medicare. The fee schedule payment is generally equal to 80 percent of the lesser of either the supplier's actual charge or the Medicare fee schedule for a particular item or service. In general, Medicare beneficiaries are responsible for paying the supplier the remaining 20 percent—the coinsurance.

Book excerpt: "To achieve Medicare savings for DME, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) required that CMS implement the CBP for certain DME. In 2008, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) 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 January 1, 2011. CMS has estimated that the rebid will lead to significant savings for Medicare.MIPPA requires GAO to examine certain aspects of the CBP. In this report, GAO 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.To examine CBP outcomes and effects, GAO analyzed data from CMS and its feedback provided to bidding suppliers, analyzed 2011 CBP data about different types of suppliers, and interviewed CMS and CBP contractor officials, DME industry groups, and suppliers. To examine CBP's effects on beneficiary access, GAO analyzed Medicare claims data for the first six months of 2011 because the data for those months were the most complete, and compared it to the same months"
