The Competitive Bidding Implementation Contractor (CBIC) has released additional resources for suppliers interested in the DMEPOS competitive bidding program. The CBIC website now has an updated interactive U.S. map that displays the Round 1 Rebid, Round 2, and national mail-order competition competitive bidding areas (CBAs). The CBIC website also features a ZIP code look-up tool with the ZIP codes for Round 2 and the national mail-order competition. In addition, to assist suppliers with complying with the bidding requirement to have all required licenses on file with the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC), the NSC has updated its DMEPOS licensure database to include licensure requirements for each state and territory, along with contact information for state licensing agencies. Suppliers can verify licenses have on file with the NSC via the internet-based Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS).
