I'm writing to stongly support a delay in the effective date of the Interim Final Rule
on Competitive Bidding.
The delay is needed to allow an oppertunity for providers, clinicians, and Medicare
beneficiaries to provide input on the changes that CMS will be making as a result
of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act passed by Congress
in 2008.
This Interim Final Rule was issued by CMS without the benefit of these comments
and in lite of the major porblems encountered by CMS in implementing Round 1 in
2008 it is irresponsible for CMS to move ahead without allowing adequate time for
public input.

Medicare Program: Changes to the Competitive Acquisition of Certain Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) by Certain Provisions of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA)
