CMS Circulates Fact Sheet Calling DME Competitive Bidding Concerns 'Myths'

CMS Circulates Fact Sheet Calling DME Competitive Bidding Concerns 'Myths'-insidehealthpolicy: CMS is circulating a fact sheet that rejects as “myths” concerns by stakeholders and a growing chorus of lawmakers that the Medicare durable medical equipment competitive bidding program will lead to less competition in the market, lacks transparency and includes unlicensed suppliers. The agency began distributing the fact sheet Friday, just days before a bipartisan group of 218 House lawmakers wrote to CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner this week seeking an administrative delay of the program through the end of the year.
