WPS Medicare Provider Outreach and Education (POE) is the department responsible for the training and resources listed above. These materials were created in order to help providers with Medicare-related matters on a daily basis. The goal of POE is to educate providers and their staffs about the fundamentals of the Medicare program, policies, and procedures, new Medicare initiatives, significant changes to the Medicare program, and issues identified through analyses of provider inquiries and claim submission errors.

Partnerships with External Entities
POE works toward establishing partnerships with external entities to help disseminate Medicare provider information. Whenever feasible, events and activities are coordinated with interested groups and organizations. In addition, contractors routinely and directly notify other interested entities of their upcoming provider education events and activities.

Publications
POE is required to maintain a Website, quarterly newsletter, Listserv, and other means to provide timely and cost-effective communications to providers. WPS Medicare has developed a Medicare Publications area to meet these requirements.
