MODESTO, Calif. – It’s not every day that HME providers get good news from a CMS audit contractor, but Home Oxygen Company recently got a break from certain audits.

Since it’s been so long since HME providers have had to grapple with a RAC, stakeholders offered these pieces of advice:

YARMOUTH, Maine – Recent revisions to the documentation requirements for CPAP resupplies are a “huge win,” but industry stakeholders want further clarification.

WASHINGTON – Recent guidance from the DME MACs on coverage criteria for ventilators is a move in the right direction, say industry stakeholders.

WASHINGTON – It was a big win in the HME industry’s fight against competitive bidding when CMS disqualified one-third of the contract suppliers for Tennessee, but that’s not the only state with licensure issues, stakeholders point out.

YARMOUTH, Maine – Some Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are starting to look more and more like traditional Medicare, industry sources say.

WASHINGTON – The proper use of advance beneficiary notices (ABNs) has shifted—and not in the HME provider’s favor, industry stakeholders say.
