The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Region VIII Update Teleconference Call Series

We are pleased to announce a new, bi-monthly teleconference series designed to keep you updated on the latest CMS program issues.  Staff will be available on these calls to listen to your concerns and respond to your questions.  This is your “go to” meeting for all your questions.        

Topics:  We will announce discussion topics in the weeks leading up to each event, and will vary them in accordance with policy priorities for Medicare & Medicaid programs, Health Exchanges, and more.

     

Target Audience:  Provider organizations and members, Congressional offices, state and local governments and advocacy groups. 

Teleconference Format:  Our CMS Region VIII leadership and staff will share timely program updates, seek input, and address questions from participants.  We anticipate discussing several priority topics during each call. 

Logistics:  You don’t need to register for these calls. Each session will accommodate 100 participants on a first come, first served basis. We ask that if several people are calling in from one location that they call in on one line.
