3. Must have the application for billing privileges signed by an individual whose signature binds a supplier;

4. Fills orders, fabricates, or fits items from its own inventory or by contracting with other companies for the purchase of items necessary to fill

the order. If it does, it must provide, upon request, copies of contracts or other documentation showing compliance with this standard . A

option for capped rental durable medical equipment, as defined in §414.220(a) of this subchapter. (The supplier must provide, upon request,

documentation that it has provided beneficiaries with this information, in the form of copies of letters, logs, or signed notices);

6. Honors all warranties expressed or implied under applicable State law. A supplier must not charge the beneficiary or the Medicare program for

the repair or replacement of Medicare covered items or for services covered under warranty. This standard applies to all purchased and rented

items, including capped rental items, as described in §414.229 of this subchapter. The supplier must provide, upon request, documentation

that it has provided beneficiaries with information about Medicare covered items covered under warranty, in the form of copies of letters, logs,

8. Permits HCFA, or its agents to conduct on-site inspections to ascertain supplier compliance with the requirements of this section. The supplier

location must be accessible during reasonable business hours to beneficiaries and to HCFA, and must maintain a visible sign and posted hours

of operation.

9. Maintains a primary business telephone listing the name of the business locally or toll-free for beneficiaries. The supplier must furnish

information to beneficiaries at the time of delivery of items on how the beneficiary can contact the supplier by telephone. The exclusive use of

a beeper number, answering service, pager, facsimile machine, car phone, or an answering machine may not be used as the primary business

telephone for the purpose of this regulation;

10. Has a comprehensive liability insurance policy in the amount of at least $300,000 that covers both the supplier’s place of business and all

customers and employees of the supplier. In the case of a supplier that manufactures its own items, this insurance must also cover product

liability and completed operations. Failure to maintain required insurance at all times will result in revocation of the supplier’s billing privileges

retroactive to the date the insurance lapsed;

11. Must agree not to contact a beneficiary by telephone when supplying a Medicare-covered item unless one of the following applies:

(i) The individual has given written permission to the supplier to contact them by telephone concerning the furnishing of Medicare-covered

item that is to be rented or purchased.

delivery of the item.

(iii) If the contact concerns the furnishing of a Medicare-covered item other than a covered item already furnished to the individual, the

19. Must have a complaint resolution protocol to address beneficiary complaints that relate to supplier standards in paragraph (c) of this section

and keep written complaints, related correspondence and any notes of actions taken in response to written and oral complaints. Failure to
