STILLWATER, Minn.--Last week, the National Supplier Clearinghouse Advisory Committee launched a Web site at www.nscac.org to offer HME providers additional resources for interacting with the NSC.
Comprised of individuals representing their respective DME MAC Jurisdiction Advisory Committees/Councils in all four jurisdictions in the United States, the NSCAC was formed to improve communication between the NSC and the supplier community. The committee meets regularly with NSC senior management.
The new Web site offers a tracking form so providers can document issues related to NSC site visits, and a form for submitting questions concerning the NSC. The NSCAC compiles all questions that are received on a quarterly basis and then submits them to the NSC for answers. The new Web site also includes a compilation of previous questions and answers from the NSC, along with minutes from recent meetings with the NSC.
NSCAC Executive Committee members include:
--Chairman Joan Cross of C&C Homecare, Bradenton, Fla.;
--Vice Chair Duane Ridenour of Universal Software Solutions,
Spartanburg, S.C.;
--Secretary Miriam Lieber of Lieber Consulting, Sherman Oaks,
Calif.;
--Treasurer Herb Langsam of Medicare Recovery, Oklahoma City,
Okla.;
--Past Chair Tom Heinrich of McKesson Medical-Surgical Minnesota
Supply, Golden Valley, Minn.; and
--Rose Schafhauser of Association Management, Stillwater, Minn.,
who is responsible for NSCAC administration.
