Rock-Pond Reports has been endorsed by the Med Group as the tool of choice to get the information you need when preparing a bid for the CMS Competitive Bidding program.
The MED Group formed the Competitive Bidding Institute to help home infusion and HME providers understand and respond to the CMS Competitive Bidding program.
The MED Group Competitive Bidding Institute is a comprehensive program created to assist MED Members through the competitive bidding process and highlights key changes that MED Members will need to make to prepare their companies to compete in “The New Environment.” The program’s end result is to provide MED Members with the tools and services they will need to guide their companies through the complicated competitive bidding program.
Over the last few months, the Competitive Bidding Institute has focused on a series of 50 competitive bidding seminars across the country. These seminars educate providers about the competitive bidding process, the problems and issues faced with Round 1, and how it will influence and effect their bidding in Round 2.
These seminars are packed with a tremendous amount of information that Executives must understand before they decide whether or not to submit a bid, which lines of business to bid on, and what price they should bid. Regardless of their decision to bid or not, and whether they are awarded the final bid or not, we advise the participants that they must understand the impact on their business and what changes they need to be making now. This is where Rock-Pond Reports comes in. Rock-Pond Reports connect directly to many HME and home infusion software products and turn the historical data into powerful information for the competitive bidding process. We are very pleased to partner with Rock-Pond in this significant industry effort and campaign.

With only a handful of seminars remaining, The MED Group has made a commitment to maintain their Competitive Bidding leadership throughout 2012 and beyond by hosting webinars, educational events, and news updates. Rock-Pond Solutions is committed to providing the data analytics tools providers need to make critical business decisions and analyze the impact Competitive Bidding is having on their business.
Chris Beaudoin, Executive Director of Providence Infusion and Pharmacy Services, and a long standing Rock-Pond Solutions customer, recently attended a MED Group seminar on Competitive Bidding. After learning that Rock-Pond could help access his critical data, Chris immediately contacted Rock-Pond and asked “What do I need to do to get the reports needed to pull the HCPCS data for my bid submission?”
The combination of The MED Group’s assistance with competitive bidding and Rock-Pond’s ability to retrieve information from the CPR+ system is a winning combination! The information was extremely valuable and then to find out that the tool I needed to gather the information to prepare my bid was already a part of my Rock-Pond Reports was perfect. Although the Competitive Bidding road still feels like a dreaded road to be traveling on, it’s much better with the information I need to make the best decisions along the way.
