Description
|
Reflects savings by allowing the agency to modify durable medical equipment rates to match Medicare. Through its competitive bidding program, Medicare has established competitive rates for selected items for three major Virginia markets (Richmond, Virginia Beach/Norfolk, Arlington/Alexandria) that are 33 percent lower than the current Medicaid rates. This action allows Virginia Medicaid to utilize the competitive rates that Medicare has experienced. |
