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.
