31 Using Contract Suppliers Must almost always use contract supplier if Items and services are included in Competitive Bidding Program where a beneficiary lives in a CBA Traveling to or visiting a CBA Doctors, treating practitioners, and hospitals can supply certain items (ex: walkers or folding manual wheelchairs) Nursing Facility can only supply directly if it becomes a contract supplier January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 31
32 Identifying Contract Suppliers Visit the DMEPOS Supplier Locator tool Call MEDICARE ( ) TTY users call January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 32
33 Stay With Current Supplier Can stay with current non-contract supplier if all of the following Supplier elects to be grandfathered Beneficiary permanently resides in a CBA Renting certain equipment or oxygen when program starts in CBA If current non-contract supplier elects not to be grandfathered Must switch to a contract supplier January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 33
34 Grandfathered Supplier Supplier Issues prior written notice confirming desire to continue services Works with contract supplier to get new equipment to beneficiary Beneficiary May continue getting services until rental period ends OR Must switch to a contract supplier January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 34
35 Have Other Insurance? Medicare may make payment to a noncontract supplier if required by policy Non-contract supplier must Be accredited Have valid Medicare billing number Be eligible to receive secondary payments January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 35
36 Non-contract Supplier If in CBA, a non-contract supplier may not furnish bid items If non-contract supplier used, supplier must issue Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) Says Medicare will not pay By signing, beneficiary agrees to pay entire amount If no ABN signed, beneficiary not responsible for payment January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 36
37 Traveling Beneficiaries To CBA: Must use contract supplier If non-contract supplier used, supplier must issue Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) If no ABN signed, beneficiary not responsible for payment To non-cba: Can use any Medicare-enrolled supplier January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 37
38 Traveling Beneficiaries Scenario Obtaining DMEPOS items while traveling Mildred s permanent residence is in Alaska(which is not a Competitive Bidding Area), but she travels to Miami, FL. While she s in Miami, she needs supplies for her Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device. Since Miami is in a Competitive Bidding Area, Mildred must buy the supplies from a contract supplier. If Mildred wants to obtain the supplies from a non-contract supplier, the supplier must have her sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN). The ABN says Medicare probably won t pay for the supplies. By signing this notice, Mildred agrees to pay for the supplies. If Mildred travels to Montana, which is not a Competitive Bidding Area, she may purchase her CPAP supplies from any Medicareenrolled supplier of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies. January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 38
39 Specific Brands Doctor must prescribe in writing Medical record must reflect need Contract supplier must Furnish the specific brand or form as prescribed OR Work with doctor or treating practitioner to find suitable alternative OR Help locate another contract supplier that can furnish the specific brand or form as prescribed January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 39
40 Equipment Repair & Replacement For owned medical equipment Any Medicare-enrolled supplier can make necessary repairs For replacement must use contract supplier For warranty repairs, follow the warranty rules For rented equipment Repairs are included in rental payment the supplier must fix at no charge January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 40
41 Deductible and Coinsurance After beneficiaries pay their annual Part B deductible Medicare pays 80% of the Medicare-approved amount for equipment, supplies and services Beneficiaries are responsible for a 20% coinsurance Contract suppliers cannot bill for more than these amounts For suspected overpayment or fraud call MEDICARE ( ) TTY users call Fraud Hotline of the HHS Office of Inspector General at January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 41
42 Points to Remember Program does NOT affect which physicians or hospitals beneficiaries use May need to change DMEPOS supplier for Medicare to pay May be able to stay with current supplier if renting from supplier who elects to be grandfathered If in Medicare Advantage plan, beneficiary should check with the plan January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 42
43 What Beneficiaries Need To Do Beneficiaries who live in or will visit a CBA and need medical items included in the program, should Find out if the ZIP Code where they live or visit is included in a CBA Find out if the items they need are included in the Medicare Competitive Bidding Program in that area Find out which suppliers are contract suppliers for their items for the Medicare Competitive Bidding Program Visit or Call MEDICARE ( ) to find this information TTY users call January 2013 Competitive Bidding Program 43
