Maintaining accurate supplier information is important if you plan to competitively bid. If you have had a recent change and have not notified CMS, you are at risk of being excluded from the program.
CMS reiterated its current information requirement in an e-mail that stated “DMEPOS supplier standard # 2 requires all suppliers to notify the NSC (National Supplier Clearinghouse) of any change in information provided on CMS form 855S application form within 30 days of the change.”
Go to the NSC website, www.palmettogba.com/nsc, to submit any change of supplier information.
Bill Popomaronis, R.Ph., NCPA vice president, home health and long term care pharmacy services, provides his thoughts and explanations on the latest DME information from CMS.
