The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced the return of Wednesday Webinars, a series of webinars presented by the Open Payments team of the Agency. During the Wednesday Webinars, reporting entities are invited to attend and learn about program activities and engage in a question and answer session. Each webinar will correspond with current program activities and address questions related to the current program timeline.
The first such webinar is scheduled for February 13, 2019, at 1:00 pm, focused on Program Year 2018 Data Submission & System Enhancements. To ask a question during the webinar, you must go online and register at least fifteen minutes prior to the webinar. Once you register, you will receive an email with instructions on how to join the call to ask your question. If you would like to attend in listen only mode and not ask a question, you can attend the webinar by calling (844) 396-8222 and entering meeting number 985 197 475 when prompted.
The second webinar is scheduled for March 27, 2019, at 1:00 pm, entitled Preparing for Program Year 2018 Data Publication: Review, Dispute & Corrections.
In the interim, if you have any questions, you can always submit an email to the Help Desk at openpayments@cms.hhs.gov.
Live Help Desk support is also available Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST. The telephone number is (855) 326-8366.
