Educational Teleconference Reminders 

 

To provide the best customer service possible, we ask that you complete an assessment for the teleconference you attended. Your evaluation will be used in conjunction with other evaluations to determine in what areas our representatives are most helpful and where they need to strengthen their skills to better satisfy our customers' needs. Please indicate to what degree your expectations were met. Please evaluate each teleconference you attended. Thank you very much.

J14 Part B Assessment Form  

 

Registration is required for all teleconferences. Please visit the J14 MAC Part B Educational Programs webpage for further information. If you are registering for a group, and using only 1 telephone line, then only 1 registration is necessary.

What's New from CMS

  • MM8301 - New Waived Tests 
  • MM8341 - Update to Chapter 15 of the Program Integrity Manual (PIM)  
  • Your Opinion Counts!
    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is launching a new instrument for 2013 called the Medicare Administrative Contractor Satisfaction Indicator (MSI). The MSI is a tool that measures your satisfaction with the Medicare claims administrative contractor(s) that serve you. This measuring tool will provide the best opportunity for you to rate your satisfaction with your MAC. Your input will help your MAC to improve the services that they offer you. Participation is voluntary, but you must register if you would like to take the MSI. A random sample will be drawn from the registry.
    If you are a Medicare FFS provider or you represent a Medicare FFS provider and are interested in participating, take a moment to register your contact information by completing the application at https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=eMRKPqaWpqMxNOmTQpSKDA
    It will take about 1 minute to complete. 
    For more information visit the CMS MSI website at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Contracting/MSI.   Let your voice be heard!
