Silva C - The Obama administration is proceeding with a Medicare durable medical equipment competitive bidding program it inherited from the previous administration. Absent another legislative intervention, the program will start again in 2010. Earlier this year, the White House delayed the effective date of a rule outlining final details for competitive bidding in order to review late changes approved by the Bush administration. But the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that the new April 18 effective date would not be delayed any further, prompting criticism from the American Assn. for Homecare and other organizations representing suppliers.
