Using Medicare Resources

Did you know all providers who submit claims to the Medicare Program are required to be familiar and comply with the most current Medicare billing and coverage guidelines? Where do you turn to learn about Medicare? You can find a variety of Medicare resources at your fingertips on our website and on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) website. In this session, we will help you discover resources you can use to find answers to your Medicare questions and to keep you up to date with the ever-changing world of Medicare. Some resources we will review include our website, www.NGSMedicare.com (Medicare Monthly Review and Self-Service Pulse newsletters, various manuals and guides, FAQs, News, Medicare Topics, LCDs and more!) and the CMS’ website, www.CMS.gov (IOMs, Transmittals/Change Requests, MLN Connects Newsletters, Medicare FFS Payment Regulations, NCDs and more!). Using these resources can help you to ensure your facility is compliant with Medicare regulations.
