Abstract: CMS will conduct a competitive bidding program in which certain suppliers would be awarded a contract to provide competitively priced items and services to Medicare beneficiaries. Suppliers bidding above the winning price are to be excluded from the Medicare market; however, multiple winners must be awarded in each site. Contract or winning suppliers will be picked from those suppliers bids that have the lowest bids and meet all relevant program requirements.
