Since the Medicare Competitive Bidding Program is now in effect for most areas of the U.S. we have intentionally removed outdated information on this page.

Please refer to the Medicare Competitive Bidding Program information at the top of our Medicare Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. This page provides detailed information on locating a supplier in your area approved by Medicare to supply and bill for equipment. This Competitive Bidding Program means you must use a supplier by patient postal zip code.
