CMS announced last week that it is giving providers one more week to submit bids for national competitive bidding.
The new deadline: 9 p.m. EST on July 27.
It's the second time CMS has extended the deadline. CMS also pointed out that it has revised its customer service hours to 6 a.m. to midnight EST. The help desk (877-577-5331) will operate 24 hours the day before bidding closes.
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.
