MEETING ROOM: Ambassador Room
The National Medicare Education Program Partnership Alliance began as an educational effort because of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which expanded Medicare's health plan options by creating the Medicare+Choice program. A partnership soon developed between public and private organizations and CMS around a common goal: educating people with Medicare to make informed choices about their health care. NMEP continues its work under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. CMS traditionally holds this meeting in Washington, DC with National Partner Organizations. In addition to the National Partner Organizations, local partners from each CMS Regional Office will be invited to virtually attend this meeting via teleconferencing. This meeting will set the standard in bringing together our National and Regional partners for a dialogue that is helpful and productive for all. See attached agenda for meeting details
