H.R. 4920 Brings Rationality to Competitive Bidding

WASHINGTON (July 9, 2014)—Congressmen Pat Tiberi (R-Ohio) and John Larson (D-Conn.)—both long-standing advocates for the home care community—will sponsor a bipartisan piece of legislation that would reform the Medicare bidding program to make it more equitable. The Medicare Competitive Bidding Improvement Act, H.R. 4920, would make bids from suppliers to provide durable medical equipment, prosthetic and orthotic devices and supplies (DMEPOS) binding under the Medicare bidding program.
