SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible
for administering the Medicare and Medicaid programs and coordination
and oversight of private health insurance. Administration and oversight
of these programs involves the following: (1) furnishing information to
Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, health care providers, and the
public; and (2) maintaining effective communications with CMS regional
offices, state governments, state Medicaid agencies, state survey
agencies, various providers of health care, all Medicare contractors
that process claims and pay bills, National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC), health insurers, and other stakeholders. To
implement the various statutes on which the programs are based, we
issue regulations under the authority granted to the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services under sections 1102, 1871,
1902, and related provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act) and
Public Health Service Act. We also issue various manuals, memoranda,
and statements necessary to administer and oversee the programs
efficiently.
Section 1871(c) of the Act requires that we publish a list of all
Medicare manual instructions, interpretive rules, statements of policy,
and guidelines of general applicability not issued as regulations at
least every 3 months in the Federal Register.
II. Format for the Quarterly Issuance Notices
This quarterly notice provides only the specific updates that have
occurred in the 3-month period along with a hyperlink to the full
listing that is available on the CMS website or the appropriate data
registries that are used as our resources. This is the most current up-
to-date information and will be available earlier than we publish our
quarterly notice. We believe the website list provides more timely
access for beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers. We also believe the
website offers a more convenient tool for the public to find the full
list of qualified providers for these specific services and offers more
flexibility and ``real time'' accessibility. In addition, many of the
websites have listservs; that is, the public can subscribe and receive
immediate notification of any updates to the website. These listservs
avoid the need to check the website, as notification of updates is
automatic and sent to the subscriber as they occur. If assessing a
website proves to be difficult, the contact person listed can provide
information.
III. How to Use the Notice
This notice is organized into 15 addenda so that a reader may
access the subjects published during the quarter covered by the notice
to determine whether any are of particular interest. We expect this
notice to be used in concert with previously published notices. Those
unfamiliar with a description of our Medicare manuals should view the
manuals at http://www.cms.gov/manuals.
The Director of the Office of Strategic Operations and Regulatory
Affairs of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Kathleen
Cantwell, having reviewed and approved this document, authorizes
Trenesha Fultz-Mimms, who is the Federal Register Liaison, to
electronically sign this document for purposes of publication in the
Federal Register.
