On November 15, 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the Prepayment Review and Prior Authorization for Power Mobility Devices (PMD) demonstration and the Recovery Audit Prepayment Review demonstration. These demonstrations were scheduled to begin on January 1, 2012. However, the CMS received many comments/suggestions regarding these demonstrations and the CMS is carefully considering these comments. Therefore, CMS will delay implementation of these demonstrations. CMS will provide at least 30 days notice before the demonstrations begin.
The Part A to Part B rebilling demonstration remains on schedule and will begin on January 1, 2012.
