CMS has announced that it is convening a meeting of the DMEPOS Program Advisory and Oversight Committee (PAOC) on June 4, 2009 to discuss the Round 1 Rebid of the Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program. The agenda will focus on legislative changes mandated by the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 as well as additional process improvements. CMS expects that the feedback received from the PAOC committee members and the public will assist the Agency as it moves forward with the Round 1 Rebid.   The registration deadline is May 29, 2000.
