The Jersey Association of Medical Equipment Services (JAMES), established in 1978, disseminates information related to the delivery of Home Medical Equipment to providers of these services. It is the goal of the organization to keep its members informed of industry changes and related information necessary to maintain quality of care in providing home medical equipment, supplies and services to the patients who rely on us.

State Associations such as JAMES are working together through the American Association for Homecare's State Leaders Council to gather information to share with CMS regarding PECOS edit warnings.  

The Council has created a survey with a brief explanation asking HME companies to provide the percentage of cliams with the edit warning (PECOS).  This survey was originally developed by the Region A Council, but has been expanded nationwide.

An electronic link to the survey has been provided to JAMES members in the JAMES Electronic Alert Vol. 3, No. 6, dated January 29, 2010.  Please check your email inbox! This survey needs to completed by the close of business on Friday, February 5, 2010.
