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.
