Medicare is phasing in a new competitive bidding program in some areas of the country. This program changes the amount Medicare pays suppliers for certain durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) and makes changes to who can supply these items.
What's the Durable Medical Equipment Competitive Bidding Program?
The Competitive Bidding Program replaces the outdated prices Medicare has been paying with lower, more accurate prices.
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
