BALTIMORE — CMS will hold three national listening sessions this week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. ET. Called the Provider Compliance Group Outreach Calls, the sessions will focus on several Office of Inspector General reports "to educate providers and suppliers on specific vulnerabilities that exist in DME, Part A, Part B and home health and hospice related to the reports," a CMS notice said.
One of the subjects scheduled for the March 22 (Tuesday) call is Part B enteral nutrition therapy services during non-Part A nursing home stays.
The March 24 (Thursday) call will include a review of claims for capped rental DME.
