CMS Round 1 Rebid Timeline Set

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the bidding timeline for the Round 1 Rebid of the durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (DMEPOS) competitive bidding program and initiated a comprehensive bidder education campaign. At press time, the bidding timeline included a bid window opening date of October 21.

In order to avoid any overlap of the Round 1 Rebid contract period for mail-order diabetic supplies and a possible contract period resulting from a national mail-order competition, the Round 1 Rebid contract period for mail-order diabetic supplies will be 2 years. The contract period for all other Round 1 Rebid product categories will be 3 years.
