“Something smells extremely fishy with this entire Competitive Bidding Program”

Editor’s Note:  From a Comment by supergolfer on Theresa Flaherty’s HME News blog.

Well I am the Billing Manager of a small Mail Order Diabetic Supply Company that was extremely shocked at the reimburstment rates we to thought the pricing would come in at around $15.00 per bottle.

However I am even more upset that we have heard rumors that the bid winners already know who they are and that only 15 contract were awarded.

Something smells extremely fishy with this entire Competitive Bidding Program and almost sounds as though fraud hof some sort has been commited.

We put our bid in, thought we had a pretty good shot since most of our audits are paid by Medicare once they receive our documentation.

There is not in my opinion one company 0n the mail order diabetic side that will be able to stay in business. And still supply their patients with quality and reliable testing supplies.

ABSULUTELY SHOCKED. THE NEWS MEDIA NEEDS TO BE DOING SOME NEGATIVE REPORTING ON THIS SCAM!
