On April 10, 2009, CMS released another memo regarding Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007. There has been a plethora of information released on this topic by CMS and other resources, and CMS is providing a forum for public comment as we get closer to the implementation time period.

This forum will be held via email, and CMS has established the following address for comments:

It is important to note that submitters should be as specific as possible in their subject line, and only one topic is requested per email. If one needs to address more than one topic than they should divide their issues into multiple emails. Comments will generate an auto-reply, and all emails gathered will give CMS the information they need to address in future memos and publications.
