July 1, 2013 Medicare is starting a national
mail-order program for diabetic testing supplies.
Starting in July 2013, Medicare is scheduled to
expand the competitive bidding program to more areas of the country. This
program changes the way Medicare pays for certain durable medical equipment,
prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS). It also changes which suppliers
Medicare will pay to supply these items to you. Under this program, suppliers submit bids to
provide certain medical equipment and supplies at a lower price than what
Medicare now pays for these items. Medicare uses these bids to set the amount
it will pay for those equipment and supplies under the new program. Qualified,
accredited suppliers with winning bids are chosen as Medicare contract
suppliers.
This adjustment will affect durable medical
equipment and diabetic supplies.
