There are just 99 days left on the calendar until January 1, 2016. On that day, CMS plans to unleash a double whammy on HME providers and patients through competitive-bidding derived rates for Complex Rehab accessories, as well as expanding the reach of prices from the bidding program to rural providers everywhere. Welcome to the brave new world of competitive bidding pricing, without actual bidding for the items covered!
