About Competitive Bidding Round 2021
In 2003, the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) which oversees Medicare was instructed to initiate a process to award contracts for certain Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics & Supplies (DMEPOS) items on a “competitive bidding” basis. Prior to competitive bidding, CMS would issue a price list and “any willing provider” could supply these items to patients. Through the competitive bidding process, companies like ours had to provide the government with the lowest price we were willing to accept and to support this bid with significant financial data and post a bond. Bid “winners” are now able to continue to provide these items at a lower price and bid “losers” are no longer permitted to supply these products to Medicare patients.
