CMS has scheduled the next PAOC meeting right in the middle of the NCPA Annual Convention in Anaheim. I'll be speaking at the Convention about the challenges of accreditation and competitive bidding. Member concerns regarding surety bonds, accreditation costs and the inappropriateness of the CMS small supplier definition need to be discussed…so I’m NOT happy. I’ll make my concerns known to CMS, but I’d rather do it my self!
