WASHINGTON – There are more questions than answers about Round 2 of competitive bidding, but that may be a good thing, HME industry stakeholders say.
The last they knew, CMS planned to announce the zip codes and product categories for Round 2 in the fall of 2010, open registration in the winter of 2010-11, accept bids in the summer of 2011 and implement the program Jan. 1, 2013. But so far, the agency has been “strangely quiet” about the next step in the program, they say.
