Feedback Requested!
Your local Medicare Part B contractor wants to know how they can help your office. Small providers sometimes do not have the time or ability to attend our numerous workshops, webinars, or other types of outreach programs. By working with the medical associations, Medicare is looking for specific feedback on which areas you would like to see more outreach on. This may include Web site articles, webinars, teleconferences, e-learnings, workshops in specific areas, or other exciting programs. Please submit your ideas to Natalie Kaczur at CalifACP@aol.com and she will forward this information on to Medicare.
