The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will conduct a demonstration that will implement a prior authorization process for certain medical equipment for all people with Medicare who reside in seven states with high populations of fraud- and error-prone providers. North Carolina has been identified as one of these states.

CMS will be hosting a special Open Door Forum to address Medicare’s Prepayment Review and Prior Authorization Demonstration Project for Power Mobility Devices on Monday, December 5, 2011, 2pm-3:30pm ET. This call will be provider-focused.
