Despite expectations that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would announce prices for its national competitive bidding program today, the American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare) now says the announcement will probably be postponed.

An AAHomecare bulletin e-mailed to members shortly before 5 p.m. Eastern time on June 25 said, “The announcement of round one bid rates is now expected sometime before the end of June, but not likely today.”
