Competitive Bidding Relief Act of 2023

This bill extends current Medicare payment rates for durable medical equipment (like wheelchairs and oxygen) in non-rural areas until December 31, 2024. It delays the implementation of new, lower payment rates for all areas (including rural) until January 1, 2025. The bill directly affects Medicare providers who supply durable medical equipment, giving them additional time to adjust to potential payment changes. It modifies how Medicare administers payment rules without altering the underlying rates themselves.
