**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 Web site 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 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
