Servicing the Entire Geographic Area of a CBA

30.3 - Servicing the Entire Geographic Area of a CBA (Rev. 1502; Issued: 05-09-08; Effective/Implementation Date: 06-09-08) A contract supplier must agree to furnish all items under its contract to any beneficiary who maintains a permanent residence in or visits a CBA and requests those items from the contract supplier unless an exception applies. There are two exceptions. First, SNFs or NFS that become specialty suppliers only furnish competitive bidding items to their residents. Second, individual network members are not required to provide services through the entire geographic of a CBA. However, the network as a whole must provide services throughout the entire geographic area of a CBA.
