Special Open Door Forum:

New Medicare Card Project

Thursday, November 9, 2017

2:00 – 3:00pm Eastern Time

Conference Call Only

CMS’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) will host a Special Open Door Forum (ODF) to allow State Medicaid agencies, Medicaid providers, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), Medicaid partners and other Medicaid stakeholders an opportunity to learn more about and ask questions regarding CMS’s approach towards changing the Social Security Number-based Health Insurance Claim Numbers (HICN) to the new Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI). During this ODF we will cover the background of the New Medicare Card Project, the implementation of new Medicare numbers, the format of the new number, timeline & milestones, the transition period, outreach & education, and what you need to know to get ready for the new number.
