From CRE’s DME Hotline: 1-800-613-7678 (Augusta, WV)
“I am calling in reference to the competitive bidding on Home Care Supplies. I am not in favour of just competitive bidding and not taking quality into consideration. If you go for the lowest bidder, most of the time you do not get quality products or quality service. I am 67 years old, I have worked for the Federal Government. I know how unproductive competitive bidding can be unless you have some guidelines for quality supplies and service also. The two must be linked together. Not one without the other. If you’re going to just have competitive bidding, I am not in favour of it. “
