Surety Bond Update - Oct. 5, 2009
Despite
strong objections by AOA, on Oct. 2 the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) reiterated its questionable
position that a physician who supplies eyeglasses to a Medicare
beneficiary following cataract surgery is acting as a medical
supply company unless the physician performs an examination
or test prior to furnishing the covered pair of eyeglasses
or contact lenses. As a result, optometrists will need to
obtain a surety bond and possibly get accredited if they choose
to “simply” supply glasses without performing “any
sort of examination or test” when a Medicare beneficiary
comes into the practice with a prescription for glasses that
was issued by another physician. Click
