Report Description
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 requires CMS to phase in a Competitive Bidding Program for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies. Initially, under this program, suppliers competed to become Medicare contract suppliers for diabetes testing supplies provided via mail order in select areas. In July 2013, the program was expanded to include a National Mail-Order Program for diabetes testing supplies.
