Survey Underway to Measure PMD Prior Auth Demo Success
Suppliers in the 19 states currently subject to the Power Mobility Devices Prior Authorization Demonstration Project are encouraged to take a brief online survey to provide feedback on their experience with the demonstration. The survey is being spearheaded by a work group in AAHomecare's Complex Rehab & Mobility Council (CRMC) that will be providing feedback to CMS on the demonstration project, which is currently slated to end August 31st. Click here to take the survey; responses are due by Friday, May 25th.
"The PMD Prior Authorization program has been a win-win for the HME Industry and for CMS, and information from this survey will bolster our efforts in working towards a nationwide, permanent prior authorization program for PMDs" explains Council Chair Nancy Froslie of Sanford Healthcare Accessories.
The Council is also preparing a white paper that articulates the positive results of the demonstration project and outlines regulatory opportunities to expand prior authorization for PMDs after the conclusion of the demonstration project this Fall.
For additional information, contact Ashley Plauché, AAHomecare's manager of government affairs at [email protected].

CMS Announces Relief on CB Rates for Rural Areas
CMS has released the IFR to provide some relief, though not retroactive, for June 1, 2108 to Dec. 31, 2018.
See the press release here.
The relief is also narrow in terms of its application to contiguous areas so more work still needs to be done.
