Medicare and Medicaid Programs;
Quarterly Listing of Program
Issuances—October Through
December 2020
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.

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

We also believe the website offers a
more convenient tool for the public to

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
