Customer Service Training Program Call Center Closing Times

To better serve the provider community, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is allowing Provider Contact Centers across the nation to conduct customer service training during normal business hours. The Medicare Program is very complex with continuous changes and this initiative will help prepare Provider Customer Service Representatives (CSR's) to give quality answers to substantive Medicare related questions or inquiries.

We have developed a comprehensive training plan that includes closing our Provider Contact Center for up to eight hours each month. The following closure dates are scheduled for January 2010 and February 2010. Please view the Holiday Schedule for additional closing dates.
