CMS Announces Bidding Winners -- Finally

• CMS announced the list of durable medical equipment competitive bidding winners on Nov. 3. "CMS awarded 1,217 DMEPOS competitive bidding program contracts with 356 suppliers," it says in a release. (See more bid award details in an upcoming issue of Eli's Home Care Week.)             If you are not one of the durable medical equipment suppliers tapped to be a contract bidder in the competitive bidding program, you should take note of a new bidding education call.             CMS will hold a "National Education Call for Non-Contract Suppliers in the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program" Nov. 8, it says in a message to providers. Registration for the call at http://www.eventsvc.com/palmettogba/110810 closes Fri-day, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. ET.            CMS has also scheduled an education call for referral agents on Nov. 16, but hadn't issued registration instructions at press time.
