CMS has proposed including critical ostomy and urological supplies in the Medicare Competitive Bidding Program. This could limit access to clinically appropriate products, increase the risk of complications, and undermine the essential role of WOC nurses in care delivery. Ostomy and urological supplies are not one-size-fits-all.
The WOCN Society strongly opposes this proposed change—and we need your voice. Submit your comments to CMS by August 29.
