Prepare for April's New Medicare Card - CMS Webinar February 15, 2018 AMA AMA 0 The AMA has arranged for a CMS briefing on the new Medicare card on February 21st from 3-4pm eastern time. The new Medicare card is a result of MACRA’s requirement that CMS issue Medicare cards that do not display Social Security Numbers to address the risk of beneficiary identity theft. New Medicare cards will be issued beginning in April 2018 and physician offices must be prepared to accept the new Medicare identification number at that time. As the new Medicare cards will significantly impact physician practices’ workflows, we strongly encourage state and specialty society staff, as well as physicians and their office staff, to attend this webinar. It will include time for Q & A and will be recorded for those who are unable to attend. Use this link to register. Comments are closed.
