Legislative, Regulatory and Legal
The public health emergency (PHE) continues to change the health care landscape in 2021. It is another year of unprecedented activity on Capitol Hill and within CMS. Issues related to managing the COVID-19 pandemic on top of policy makers' "normal" legislative and regulatory issues and activities continue apace. Congress will continue to pass laws, and CMS will continue to issue regulations that affect DME suppliers. In this program, you will get an "inside the beltway" perspective on what to expect from Capitol Hill and CMS. Among other topics, we will review Congressional activity affecting the DME community, CMS's payment rule for DMEPOS suppliers, CMS's potential proposed changes to the competitive bidding program, Medicare changes to non-invasive ventilation coverage, Medicare audits, and other regulatory issues impacting your business. Equally important, we will discuss how DME suppliers can take steps to prepare for these anticipated legislative and regulatory developments.
