The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced the availability of the latest Medicare Learning Network provider education product entitled, “Guided Pathways to Medicare Resources for Medicare Fee-for-Service Health Care Professionals.”
Guided Pathways has been developed as an educational tool for fee-for-service (FFS) health care staff who are relatively unfamiliar with the Medicare Program, as well as for those professionals looking for easy access to the many resources on the CMS website. Using a “road trip” motif, the pathways lead users through nine broad sections of information covering the Medicare Program, with links to further pertinent information. The pathways also provide links to other government resources pertaining to Medicare FFS items. Guided Pathways can be accessed at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/training/guidedpathways/index.html on the CMS website.
Located in the Provider Communications Group within CMS, the Medicare Learning Network (MLN) is the brand name for official CMS educational products designed to promote national consistency of information developed for Medicare FFS initiatives. Most importantly, it is available to help you! Each quarter the MLN will send updates on the latest products available ~ so be on the lookout!
