CGM Competitive Bidding

About this episode

Brian O’Neill discusses the implications of Medicare's competitive bidding for continuous glucose monitors and DDP Medical Supply's strategy to support providers.

Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10, sponsored by DDP Medical Supply. Today’s guest, Brian O’Neill, president of DDP Medical Supply, says providers of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are at a fork in the road. With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adding CGMs to the next round of the Medicare competitive bidding program, providers must choose: • Step away before bidding begins; or • Scale up to compete for one of the limited contracts O’Neill shares why DDP is focused on partnering with those aiming to win – and how its expanded distribution network and other upcoming initiatives are designed to help providers deliver nationwide efficiently and economically.
