Cahaba Medicare Part A “Ask Cahaba A”

The "Open Door Forums" offered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have created the opportunity for communication between providers on a national basis. The forums serve to identify problems in a timely fashion, provide methods of sharing information, and evaluate the needs of the customer (i.e., providers and suppliers).
Cahaba has adopted a similar approach to communicating with their enrolled providers by organizing toll-free “Ask the Contractor Teleconferences” or ACTs, to complement the work of the PCOM Advisory Group(s).

The conference calls consist of three parts. Initially, Cahaba Medicare Part A will present providers with information concerning hot topics and new issues. Subsequently, the call will be opened to providers to ask questions directly to team representatives from each department. A ‘wrap-up’ session will conclude the call.

We ask that participants observe all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations concerning the privacy of protected health information. Participation on these calls is limited, so registration is required. CMS representatives are invited to attend these teleconference calls.

Cahaba GBA Medicare Part A schedules the �Ask Cahaba A� teleconferences every quarter. Please check the Calendar of Events for the date and time of the next scheduled teleconference.
