News Brief:

CMS Provider Update Now Available

Published on Sat Jun 01, 2002

A compilation of recent and upcoming changes to CMS policy is now available online. Consisting primarily of the numerous program transmittals, memoranda and manual changes that are now found on the agency's Web site, the CMS "Quarterly Provider Update" reorganizes these documents into convenient categories so gastroen-terology practices can quickly access those regulations that are of interest to physicians. Each update will include a list of regulations CMS published in the previous quarter, as well as the rule publication date in the Federal Register, the Federal Register reference and a brief summary. It will also publish a list of regulations that CMS plans to publish in the following quarter, but detailed information will not be available until the regulation is officially published in the Federal Register. The update will be published on the first business day of each quarter January, April, July and October and can be accessed at www.cms.gov/providerupdate.
