BALTIMORE — With contract suppliers scrambling to complete
the competitive bidding Q2 Form C (due to the CBIC by July 29), CMS
has posted some FAQs that could help, among them this question on
an acquisition: I am a non-contract supplier and have purchased
a contract supplier during the previous quarter. How should I
complete Form C?

Answer: If CMS has approved your novation agreement, you should
report the items the contract supplier you purchased furnished. If
the novation agreement has not yet been approved by CMS, then the
contract supplier you purchased must complete and submit Form
C.
