2007 News Archives
WPS Medicare has maintained Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)-published articles (i.e. MLN Matters, Learnsource) on our Website since CMS began releasing them. To reduce duplication of information between WPS' and CMS' Websites, effective December 3, 2007, WPS Medicare will maintain links to CMS-published articles on our Website for two months after their release/revision date. After that time, we will remove the links from our Website. CMS maintains all MLN Matters articles on their Website at: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNMattersArticles/ ![]()
Please note: Some of the older materials on these archives might have outdated information and references (including Web links that are no longer functional). Please keep this in mind when referring to archived materials. For the most up-to-date information, sign up for WPS Medicare eNews (Listserv).
