MLN Matters Articles

MLN Matters is a series of national articles designed to inform the physician, provider, and supplier community about the latest changes to the Medicare Program (commonly referred to as Change Requests). Articles are prepared in consultation with clinicians, billing experts, and CMS subject matter experts and are tailored in content and language to the specific provider type(s) who are affected by a particular Medicare change. Employing a user-friendly article format, MLN Matters articles help focus complex Medicare change information toward how that information affects specific providers -- to give them only the information they need and thus reduce the amount of time they need to incorporate that information into their Medicare business functions.


Open Door Forums

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Open Door Initiative was developed to allow CMS to better hear and interact with beneficiaries, providers, and other stakeholders interested in the delivery of quality healthcare for our nation's seniors and beneficiaries with disabilities. This increased emphasis on responsiveness is captured through an ongoing series of "Open Door Forums" that provide a dialogue about both the many individual service areas and beneficiary needs within CMS.
