National Government Services: Raising Awareness about Care Management

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), an estimated 117 million adults have one or more chronic health conditions, and one in four adults have two or more chronic health conditions.

As your Medicare Contractor for Jurisdiction 6 and Jurisdiction K, NGS is raising awareness of the benefits of care management services for Medicare beneficiaries with chronic conditions.

We have a series of webinars scheduled that offer our provider community information about available care management services, and guidance for proper billing of these services. We encourage you to join us to learn about these important benefits. You may attend as many sessions as you’d like, simply click on the title and complete the registration form. We look forward to your attendance.
