The Competitive Bidding Implementation Contractor (CBIC) is hosting, “Program Rules,” a new educational webcast for bidders in Round Two of its national competitive bidding program that is available on its website at www.DMECompetitiveBid.com.
This webcast explains rules detailed in the Request for Bids (RFB) Instructions that providers should understand before they prepare their bids. The webcast also provides resources to assist providers with their bidding.
This webcast is available on demand to view 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no charge to view the webcast, and a transcript is also posted on the website. To view the webcast, go to the CBIC website, select Bidding Suppliers: Round 2 & National Mail-Order, and choose Education Events.
CBIC says it will issue additional webcasts later in the bidder education program. The upcoming webcasts will address topics such as financial documentation requirements, how bids are evaluated, and how to submit a bid in the online bidding system, DBidS.
As each webcast is posted, CBIC will announce its availability with an e-mail update. Providers are reminded that if they have not already done so, to register on the CBIC website to receive these announcements and other updates about the competitive bidding program.
