Covered Document Review Date FAQs
After viewing my Notice of Covered Document Review Findings and Required Action in Connexion, the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program's secure portal, I uploaded the missing balance sheet within the 10 business day response period. However, I realized that I initially uploaded the wrong balance sheet and immediately uploaded a corrected balance sheet within the same 10 business day response period. Which document will be reviewed?
We will review both documents that were successfully uploaded in Connexion within the 10 business day response period. The document that best meets the criteria outlined in the Request for Bids Instructions will be considered as your response to the Notice of Covered Document Review Findings and Required Action.
