Abstract:
We established the grandfathering process in the April 10, 2007 final rule for competitive bidding (72 FR 17992) for rented DME and oxygen and oxygen equipment when these items are included under the Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. This process only applies to suppliers that rented DME and oxygen and oxygen equipment to beneficiaries who maintain a permanent residence in a CBA before the implementation of the competitive bidding program. We established beneficiary notification requirements for noncontract suppliers that are furnishing rented oxygen or DME competitive bid items at the time a competitive bidding program is implemented in a competitive bidding area (74 FR 61738). This notification will ensure that beneficiaries are sufficiently informed and prepared for competitive bidding changes that affect rented DME and oxygen.

Short Statement:
The burden associated with this ICR is decreasing and adjusted by annualizing the one-time burden estimates. The burden estimates have also been updated to reflect implementation of the Round 1 Recompete and Round 2. The burden estimates to develop and send the 30-day notification to beneficiaries has changed from the previous version because we assume that suppliers will use the sample notification form CMS is providing rather than developing their own forms. This reduces the time required to develop and send the notification. We also believe that clerical staff, rather than skilled administrative staff, will be able to develop and send the notifications.
