What are Ask-the-Contractor Teleconferences (ACTs)?
The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) requires Medicare contractors to hold Ask-the-Contractor Teleconferences (ACTs). This requirement is based on CMS' goal of giving those who provide service to beneficiaries, the information they need to: understand the Medicare program; be informed often and early about changes; and, in the end bill correctly.
The ACT promotes valuable interaction between the Medicare Contractor (WPS) and Medicare providers and their billing staff. As stated previously, we modeled our ACTs after CMS Open Door Forums. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and raise concerns. Contractor staff is available during the call to provide education, program updates, answer questions, and take feedback. In addition, we will provide necessary follow-up to any issues that cannot be resolved during the call time.
WPS Medicare encourages providers to participate in this important educational activity.
Reminder: You can access a recording of the Legacy ACT teleconference on the WPS Medicare Website one week following the event.
