Privacy and Disclosure of Beneficiary Information to Providers The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to safeguarding the protected health information (PHI) of our Medicare beneficiaries. Accordingly, we have created training to assist provider contact center telephone and written inquiry staff in protecting beneficiary privacy while providing accurate and complete responses to provider inquiries. The training provides information, references and practice lessons on the privacy and disclosure guidelines included in Internet Only Manual Pub.100-09, chapters 3 and 6. These guidelines are consistent with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and HIPAA requirements as they relate to privacy and disclosure.
