Announcing a New Name for Medicare’s Provider Education Articles – MLN Matters Provider Types Affected All Medicare physicians, providers, and suppliers Background The Medicare Learning Network is pleased to announce a new name for our very popular provider education articles. To more closely associate these articles with the Medicare Learning Network, i.e., the official educational information source for Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) providers, the articles previously known as “Medlearn Matters” articles will now be known as “MLN Matters” articles (the MLN standing for “Medicare Learning Network”). You will also notice a new logo at the top of the articles indicating the name change. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) knows that you have come to rely on these articles to help you more easily understand new or changed Medicare policy and to help you gain quick access to accurate Medicare program information. The articles can now be accessed from http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNMattersArticles" target="_blank In conjunction with the above referenced change, the URLS for the Medicare Learning Network (MLN) Web pages have also been changed. You can reach our MLN Web pages from the cms.hhs.gov main page - just click on “Outreach and Education.” The full URLs to access the various MLN sections on the CMS Web site are: MLN General Information – http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNGenInfo" target="_blank MLN Products – http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNProducts" target="_blank Additional Information Also, note that if you know the specific number of an article you are after, such as SE0620, you can go directly to the specific URL for an article by using the format below. For example, the Web site for SE0620 is http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/SE0620.pdf" target="_blank For any other article, just substitute its number for the SE0620 in this URL to go directly to the PDF version of the article on the CMS Web site.
