Town Hall Meeting: Medicare
Provider Feedback
To: Medicare Fee-for-Service Providers
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
will be hosting a Town Hall meeting on November
16, 2004, from 2:00 to 3:00
p.m. (Eastern Time). The meeting will be
held in the auditorium at the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, 7500 Security Boulevard, Baltimore,
Maryland 21244.
Our goal is to solicit the experience of individual
Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) providers on how to better
serve Medicare providers.
The CMS will provide a venue that would allow access
to individual CMS managers who need provider opinions on
various topics. At the meeting, CMS staff will explain
CMS’s design for getting individual provider(s)
feedback on provider communication and other topics.
Online registration is available for individuals to
participate in the meeting, whether in person or by
teleconference. The online registration will capture
contact information and practice characteristics such as
name, email address, and provider/supplier type.
Physicians and interested parties may speak or ask
questions opened to the participants in the room and the
audio listeners.
