CERT Newsletters

Quick Links

Lifecare Management Partners, the CERT Documentation Contractor (CDC), began producing monthly newsletters in December 2004, to provide a better understanding of the CERT process and its activities. In support of CERT, DME MAC Jurisdiction A is making these newsletters accessible to our supplier community via our Web site.

DME MAC suppliers, please note the following in regards to an article within the January 2005 CERT newsletter: Any changes or updates to supplier addresses, telephone numbers (including area code changes), or tax information must be reported in writing to the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) within 30 days after such changes have taken place. Visit the NSC Web site (http://www.palmettogba.com), call the toll-free telephone number (866-238-9652), or write to the NSC (at the address below) for instructions.
