This summary is used to determine the validity of the complaint, and to categorize the complaint as related to transactions, standards, code sets, unique identifiers, and/or operating rules. This ensures the appropriate direction of the complaint process and enables CMS to produce accurate reports regarding complaint activity. The revision form associated with this submission adds an option for filing complaints under Unique Identifier and Operating Rules.

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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:42 Aug 10, 2018 Jkt 244001 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’’ PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and interpretive regulations, and other Federal Register notices that were published from April through June 2018, relating to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other programs administered by CMS.

Consequently, we are providing contact persons to answer general questions concerning each of the addenda published in this notice. 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.
