Health Reform Built to Fail

Editor’s Note:  The WSJ’s analysis and conclusions regarding CMS’ fatally-flawed competitive bidding progam with respect to negative pressure wound therapy also apply to the other home medical equipment and related services procured under the program.

From: Wall Street Journal

How Medicare rigs competitive bidding and hurts patients.

Americans may not be familiar with the medical innovation called negative pressure wound therapy, though it has helped hundreds of thousands of patients with complex or chronic injuries like burns or diabetic ulcer complications that could never heal on their own. Now President Obama’s Medicare team is about to severely damage this field, and many others too—all in the name of reforming how the entitlement pays for care.

Last week a Medicare competitive-bidding program went live in 91 metro regions—nearly all the U.S. population—for what’s known as durable medical equipment. That bureaucratic jargon covers advanced devices like wound therapy, respiratory assist equipment for people who can’t breathe, and feeding tube systems for people who can’t eat. It also lumps in things like walkers, scooters and “support surfaces.” Those would be beds.

Extension of Licensure Deadline for the Round 2 and National Mail-Order Competitions of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program

From: CMS

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is extending the licensure deadline for the Round 2 and national mail-order competitions of the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program. The original licensure deadline required suppliers to have all required state licenses on file with the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) and indicated in the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) before submitting a bid.

NEW DEADLINE: Bidding suppliers must now ensure that copies of all applicable state licenses are RECEIVED by the NSC on or before May 1, 2012.

Bids will be disqualified if a bidder does not meet all state licensure requirements for the applicable product categories and for every state in a competitive bidding area (CBA). Every supplier location is responsible for having all applicable license(s) for each state in which it provides services. For a multi-state CBA, the bidder must collectively have all applicable license(s) for every state in the CBA. Each location is not required to have licenses for every state in the CBA as long as each state has a bidding location licensed for the product category.

Bidding is Now Open for the Round 2 and National Mail-Order Competitions of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is now soliciting bids for the Round 2 and national mail-order competitions of the Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program.

All bids must be submitted in DBidS, the online bidding system, by 8:59:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on March 30, 2012. All required hardcopy documents that must be included as part of the bid package must be RECEIVED by the Competitive Bidding Implementation Contractor (CBIC) on or before March 30, 2012. The contract period for the Round 2 and national mail-order competitions is July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2016.

All bidders must submit certain required hardcopy documents as specified in the Request for Bids (RFB) Instructions. CMS urges all bidders to take advantage of the covered document review process. Under this process, we will notify suppliers that submit their hardcopy financial documents by the covered document review date (CDRD) of any missing financial documents. The CDRD for the Round 2 and national mail-order competitions is February 29, 2012 – financial documents must be RECEIVED on or before February 29, 2012 to qualify for the covered document review process. This process only determines if there are any missing financial documents. It does not indicate if the documents are acceptable, accurate, or meet applicable requirements. Suppliers that submit financial documents by the CDRD will be notified of any missing financial documents within 90 days of the CDRD. Suppliers will be required to submit the missing financial document(s) within 10 business days of the notification.

CBIC clarifies its clarification on credit reporting deadline

From: Home Care Magazine

The Accredited Medical Equipment Providers of America (AMEPA) has done some more digging on the issue of when credit reports should be dated for Round 2 of competitive bidding, and prompted a clarification from the CBIC.

Last week, a CBIC spokesperson told consultant Chris Rice that the deadline was Jan. 30. This week, a CBIC ombudsman told AMEPA that there was no such deadline.

At issue was the wording in CBIC instructions stating credit reports must be dated “within 90 days prior” to the opening of the bid window, which is Jan. 30. Rice had called a CBIC official who said the instruction really meant within 90 days of the bid window opening.

Not so, according to the latest clarification given AMEPA:

“Credit reports dated greater than 90 days prior to the opening of the bid window are not valid. Therefore, the credit report must be dated on or after that date. Additionally, the credit report may be dated after the opening of the bid window.”

Nov. 1, 2011, was 90 days prior to the Jan. 30 bid window opening. So credit reports must be dated AFTER that. And on Wednesday, a clarification was posted on the competitive bidding website.

Data energizes industry’s bid fight

From: HME News

By Theresa Flaherty, Managing Editor

WASHINGTON - Industry stakeholders greeted lawmakers who returned to Congress last week with new data in the fight against competitive bidding.
 
Claims for home medical equipment in Round 1 bid areas plunged by as much as 82% in 2011 compared to 2010, according to data obtained and analyzed by Prof. Peter Cramton, a vocal critic of competitive bidding as it’s currently designed. That points to access problems for beneficiaries in those areas, stated AAHomecare, which released the data in a bulletin to members last week, and other stakeholders.
 
“There are serious, serious problems,” said Wayne Stanfield, president and CEO of NAIMES. “You can’t have claims volume go down by that much. This is potentially a smoking gun.”
 
Cramton found that claims subject to bidding fell by the following percentages: complex rehab, 82.1%; CPAP devices, 63.7%; diabetes supplies, 74.1%; enteral nutrition, 65%; hospital beds, 63.7%; oxygen, 61.7%; standard power, 81.5%; support surfaces, 73.8%; and walkers, 71.5%.
 
Stanfield theorized several possible reasons for the decline in claims, most notably that beneficiaries can’t find contract suppliers. That means they are: obtaining needed equipment from non-contract suppliers who can’t bill for it; obtaining it from charity organizations; paying for it out-of-pocket; or doing without.
 
The new data should energize efforts to gain support for the industry’s alternative to competitive bidding: a market pricing program or MPP. Stakeholders would like to see MPP incorporated into a final bill on the tax cut and “doc fix” due in February.
 
While provider Bernie Zimmer was readying himself to submit a bid for Round 2, he also did his part to lobby against the program.
 
“We are absolutely talking to our lawmakers,” said Zimmer, officer at California Home Medical Equipment in Foster City, Calif. “I haven’t really had much feedback other than ‘We understand the message and we are working on it.’”
