SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible 
for administering the Medicare and Medicaid programs and coordination 
and oversight of private health insurance. Administration and oversight 
of these programs involves the following: (1) furnishing information to 
Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, health care providers, and the 
public; and (2) maintaining effective communications with CMS regional 
offices, state governments, state Medicaid agencies, state survey 
agencies, various providers of health care, all Medicare contractors 
that process claims and pay bills, National Association of Insurance 
Commissioners (NAIC), health insurers, and other stakeholders. To 
implement the various statutes on which the programs are based, we 
issue regulations under the authority granted to the Secretary of the 
Department of Health and Human Services under sections 1102, 1871, 
1902, and related provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act) and 
Public Health Service Act. We also issue various manuals, memoranda, 
and statements necessary to administer and oversee the programs 
efficiently.
    Section 1871(c) of the Act requires that we publish a list of all 
Medicare manual instructions, interpretive rules, statements of policy, 
and guidelines of general applicability not issued as regulations at 
least every 3 months in the Federal Register.

II. Format for the Quarterly Issuance Notices

    This quarterly notice provides only the specific updates that have 
occurred in the 3-month period along with a hyperlink to the full 
listing that is available on the CMS website or the appropriate data 
registries that are used as our resources. This is the most current up-
to-date information and will be available earlier than we publish our 
quarterly notice. We believe the website list provides more timely 
access for beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers. We also believe the 
website offers a more convenient tool for the public to find the full 
list of qualified providers for these specific services and offers more 
flexibility and ``real time'' accessibility. In addition, many of the 
websites have listservs; that is, the public can subscribe and receive 
immediate notification of any updates to the website. These listservs 
avoid the need to check the website, as notification of updates is 
automatic and sent to the subscriber as they occur. If assessing a 
website proves to be difficult, the contact person listed can provide 
information.

III. How To Use the Notice

    This notice is organized into 15 addenda so that a reader may 
access the subjects published during the quarter covered by the notice 
to determine whether any are of particular interest. We expect this 
notice to be used in concert with previously published notices. Those 
unfamiliar with a description of our Medicare manuals should view the 
manuals at <a href="http://www.cms.gov/manuals">http://www.cms.gov/manuals</a>.
    The Director of the Office of Strategic Operations and Regulatory 
Affairs of CMS, Kathleen Cantwell, having reviewed and approved this 
document, authorizes Trenesha Fultz-Mimms, who is the Federal Register 
Liaison, to electronically sign this document for purposes of 
publication in the Federal Register.
