Pub.L. 108 - 173 302(b)(1)
Name of Law: Payment for durable medical equipment; competitive acquisition of certain items and services
Section 302(b)(1) of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108-173) amended section 1847 of the Social Security Act (the Act) to require the Secretary to establish and implement programs under which competitive bidding areas (CBAs) are established throughout the United States for contract award purposes for the furnishing of certain competitively priced items and services for which payment is made under Part B (the Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program). Section 1847(a)(2) of the Act provides that the items and services to which competitive bidding applies are certain durable medical equipment (DME) and enteral nutrients, equipment and supplies (as described in section 1842(s)(2)(D) of the Act), and OTS orthotics (as described in section 1861(s)(9) of the Act) for which payment would otherwise be made under section 1834(h) of the Act and which require minimal self-adjustment). In addition, section 1847 of the Act specifies the requirements and conditions for implementation of the Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. Competition under the program is to be phased-in over a four-year period beginning in 2007. The competitive bidding program will be phased-in starting within 10 of the largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in 2007, 80 of the largest MSAs in 2009, and additional areas thereafter.
