Welcome to the Medicare Learning Network (MLN) - your destination for educational information for Medicare fee-for-service providers. Located in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Medicare Learning Network is a brand name for official CMS national provider education products designed to promote national consistency of Medicare provider information developed for CMS initiatives. The Network plays a key role in furthering the Agency's culture of responsiveness. Most importantly, we are here to help you! Medicare providers are often faced with uncertainty when it comes to keeping up with changes in Medicare policy. This is especially true since the passage of the Medicare Modernization Act - one of the most sweeping changes to affect the Medicare Program in its history. While policies are communicated through different media and by various parties, it is still hard to determine "How does this apply to me?" The Medicare Learning Network aims to solve that problem by providing a variety of training and educational materials that break down Medicare policy into plain language with actionable tips to use in your day-to-day work. The Medicare Learning Network uses a variety of mechanisms, such as the Internet, national educational articles, brochures, fact sheets, web-based training courses, and videos, to deliver a planned and coordinated provider education program. The Network uses these different mechanisms to provide educational opportunities that accommodate the healthcare professional's busy schedule, with the least amount of disruption to normal business functioning. Our goal is to provide you with timely, easy-to-understand educational materials to accompany the release of new or revised Medicare Program policies.
