The Region B Council shall be the primary communications vehicle between the home medical equipment (HME) industry and the Medicare Contractor(s) for DME Claims and Services for Region (Jurisdiction) B.
The Council will accomplish this by establishing and maintaining strong relationships with the DME Contractor staff; meeting with the DME Contractor and CMS on a periodic basis; providing the communication tools to facilitate thorough and prompt transfer of information to, and from, each state association and the Region B Council; and coordinating issues within the industry to adequately reflect the concerns of the majority.
