***Beneficiaries with Disabilities Open Door Forum Overview

The Beneficiaries with Disabilities Open Door Forum (ODF) addresses the concerns of the patient advocacy and beneficiary communities in relation to the Medicare & Medicaid programs. More broad in scope than our New Freedom Initiative ODF, this forum strives to handles questions on payment, billing, and delivery of services to persons with disabilities. Many of the discussions are broad in nature and serve to inform all participants about the different levels of integration between agency policy and legislative efforts. Timely announcements and clarifications regarding important rulemaking, agency program initiatives, and other related areas are included in the forums.
