CMS will conduct a competitive bidding
program in which certain suppliers would be awarded a contract to
provide competitively priced items and services to Medicare
beneficiaries. Suppliers bidding above the winning price are to be
excluded from the Medicare market; however, multiple winners must
be awarded in each site. Contract or winning suppliers will be
picked from those suppliers bids that have the lowest bids and meet
all relevant program requirements. This form will collect all
relevant information needed for bidding.

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.
