End of the Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) Telephone Discussion and Reopening Process Demonstration
All activities related to the DME QIC Telephone Discussion and Reopening Process Demonstration will be ending December 31, 2021.
In 2016, CMS launched a Formal Telephone Discussion Demonstration with Durable Medical Equipment (DME) suppliers in Jurisdictions A, B, C, and D that submit Medicare Fee-For-Service claims. The demonstration provided selected suppliers that have submitted reconsiderations (second level appeal requests) the opportunity to participate in a formal recorded telephone discussion with the DME QIC, MAXIMUS Federal Services. This service will end December 31, 2021.
Thank you for your interest and past participation in the demonstration.
