WASHINGTON - AAHomecare has developed a tool to help providers analyze the estimated 75/25 blended rates for non-rural, non-competitive bid areas during the public health emergency.
The tool allows providers to choose their state in the dropdown menu, filter by product and find the estimated rate.
The blended rates are effective March 6, but CMS has not published the rates yet.
In the interim, the DME MACs will reimburse providers at the 100% adjusted rate and will refund them when their claims systems are updated.
The CARES Act recently passed by Congress and signed by the president extends the 50/50 blended rate to rural areas and establishes the 75/25 rate for non-rural, non-bid areas—both for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic.
