Please join us for the third in a series of eight Special Open Door Forum (ODF) bidders’ conferences for the Round 1 Rebid of the Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program. At this Special ODF, we will provide an overview of the policies for change of ownership, grandfathering, and traveling beneficiaries. In addition, we will discuss key contract supplier responsibilities required under the terms of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program supplier contract.
 
Reminder: Registration for user IDs and passwords is open. It is important for suppliers to register early to avoid delays in accessing the online bidding system when bidding opens.
 
Background: 
On August 3, 2009, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the bidding timeline for the Round 1 Rebid of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program and initiated a comprehensive bidder education campaign. CMS’ Competitive Bidding Implementation Contractor (CBIC) is the focal point for bidder education. Please review this website for important information, 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 open to help bidders with all of their questions and concerns. All suppliers interested in bidding are urged to sign up for E-Mail Updates on the home page of this website.
 
We look forward to your participation.
