Redesigned Medicare Summary Notices
January 28, 2013CMS has announced the redesign of the statement that informs Medicare beneficiaries about their claims for Medicare benefits. CMS will make the redesigned statement, known as the Medicare Summary Notice (MSN), available online. Starting in 2013, CMS will mail the MSN to beneficiaries quarterly. The MSN redesign is part of a new initiative, “Your Medicare Information: Clearer, Simpler, At Your Fingertips”. This initiative aims to make Medicare information clearer, more accessible, and easier for beneficiaries and their caregivers to understand.
