DME Round 2 Timing

From: Inside CMS

CMS might release as early as this week the product categories and timelines for the second round of the controversial durable medical equipment competitive bidding program, industry sources say. Some had expected the announcement last week but have heard nothing since. CMS’ next routine open-door forum for home health and hospice is Wednesday (Aug. 17), and an industry source suggests that event might be a convenient way to make the announcement.
