Do you want to know what the regional pricing might look like under the national rollout of competitive bidding scheduled to take place Jan. 1, 2016?
Andrea Stark, a reimbursement consultant with MiraVista, can give you a pretty good idea.
In a webcast that aired on Jan. 13 and that is still available on demand, Stark walked attendees through an example of what the pricing for oxygen concentrators (E1390) might look like in Bartlesville, Okla., part of the Southwest Region, one of eight regions included in the rollout.
Stark also walked attendees through what the pricing for oxygen concentrators would look like on a regional level.
As you can imagine, this information really resonated with attendees. Stark received emails from attendees after the webcast to go through examples of what pricing would look like in their cities and regions.
Maybe you've made all these calculations for your business already. If so, pat yourself on the back.
If not, register for this webcast and you'll be all that more prepared for Jan. 1, 2016.
I know no one likes to think about a national rollout of competitive bidding, but knowledge is power, and this here is knowledge you can use today to keep your business solvent tomorrow.
The second part of this webcast—on CMS's plans to implement bundled payments for certain DME—airs Feb. 11. You can register for one or both webcasts.
