Dear Providers,
As you know, the Medicare Learning Network is constantly developing new training and educational materials. As these products are being developed, we would greatly benefit from the input of physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals as to how they can be improved and made more helpful to you. Participating in pilot tests of our products would give you the opportunity to assure we are able to meet your needs, and your comments would be greatly appreciated! If you are interested in becoming a pilot tester, please send the following information to the Medicare Learning Network at mln@cms.hhs.gov; - Full name
- Type of provider
- Business
- Address (including city, state, and zip code)
- Phone number and fax number
Thank you for your consideration and we hope to hear from you soon. *While we are grateful for all pilot test volunteers, we currently have a shortage of physician volunteers and would particularly appreciate their help. Thank you!
