# Medicare and Medicaid Programs;

**Quarterly Listing of Program**

**Issuances—January Through March**

**2014**

**AGENCY** 

# : Centers for Medicare &

Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.

**ACTION** 

# : Notice.

**SUMMARY** 

# : This quarterly notice lists

CMS manual instructions, substantive

and interpretive regulations, and other

Federal Register notices that were

published from January through March

2014, relating to the Medicare and


# 22977 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 80 / Friday, April 25, 2014 / Notices

Medicaid programs and other programs

administered by CMS.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT** 

# : It is

possible that an interested party may need specific information and not be

able to determine from the listed

information whether the issuance or

regulation would fulfill that need. Consequently, we are providing contact

persons to answer general questions

concerning each of the addenda

published in this notice.

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 Web site or the

appropriate data registries that are used

as our resources. This information is the

most current up-to-date information and

will be available earlier than we publish

our quarterly notice. We believe the

Web site list provides more timely

access for beneficiaries, providers, and

suppliers. We also believe the Web site

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

Web sites have listservs; that is, the

public can subscribe and receive immediate notification of any updates to

the Web site. These listservs avoid the

need to check the Web site, as

notification of updates is automatic and

sent to the subscriber as they occur. If

assessing a Web site 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
