Mammography Site Gets Upgrade
Published on Mon Mar 15, 2004
Improved design may make fact-finding easier for providers and suppliers
If you need a quick reference for questions about mammography services, you may want to give the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' new Web page a click.
In the new layout for mammography services, all pertinent information such as mammography coding, the CMS online manual, information on regulation and newly available mammography services is now consolidated onto one page -- creating a more user-friendly resource for providers and suppliers who don't have time to do an exhaustive search.
To view the page, go to: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/suppliers/mammography/.
