Competitive Bidding Program

The Competitive Bidding Program (CBP) is a major policy that affects how Medicare pays for home medical equipment. VGM is working hard to make sure this program supports patients and providers, not hurts them. With new rules on the horizon, VGM and its partners are leading a nationwide campaign to raise awareness, educate lawmakers, and push for changes that protect access to care. Whether you’re a provider, patient, or advocate, your voice matters in shaping the future of this program.

VGM has stood by the DMEPOS community through every round of competitive bidding—and this time is no different. We remain committed to supporting suppliers throughout this process and will continue to provide resources and guidance along the way.?
