CMS announces the launch of the new section on the CMS public website to
house contract and enrollment data about MA and Part D plans. The site can
be found at: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MCRAdvPartDEnrolData/

This site provides: a) a plan directory, and b) an MA claims processing
contact directory.  These directories contain basic information about the
contract as well as contact information for the plan itself. CMS will update
these directories on a monthly basis.  Also, CMS is providing these data in
three formats: a PDF document sorted by contract name, a PDF document sorted
by contract number, and an Excel version.

Please use this information to update your IVRs and to train your CSRs.
There will also be a MLN Matters article and job aid issued about this new
source of Medicare Advantage information.
