• Ask-the-Contractor Teleconference (ACT) - Opportunities for suppliers to interact directly with the NHIC DME MAC A on various topics
• Webinars - Live Web-based seminars

• Trade Shows/Special Events - A calendar of upcoming trade shows, conferences, and other special events in which DME MAC Jurisdiction A will be a participant.

Note: Some non-Medicare corporations are promoting seminars called "Medicare" seminars, although they are not sponsored by Medicare. These corporations may advise providers that they must attend the seminar "to be in compliance with Medicare." Please be advised that Medicare is not associated with these seminars, and does not require attendance to meet compliance criteria. DME MAC Jurisdiction A's seminars are announced in our bulletins and on this Web site.

If you utilize information received at seminars, conferences, or workshops conducted by non-Medicare corporations and then are found to be non-compliant with Medicare law, regulations, and guidelines, you will be held liable for any incorrect information you submit to the Medicare program.

Webinars

Live Web-based Seminars

The DME MAC Jurisdiction A Outreach & Education Team has finalized the schedule for our upcoming FREE educational Webinar* sessions. These sessions are presented via the internet and telephone. The audio portion is heard over the telephone, via teleconferencing, while the presentation is shown on a computer over the internet. Each session offers interaction very similar to a seminar attended in person. One of the benefits of attending these types of sessions is that the attendee can participate in the comfort of their own office, meeting room, or even their own home.

The following table contains the dates, times, and topics for the upcoming sessions. Click on the topic below to view a description and agenda and to download any handouts for the session.

Note: Each session is scheduled for two hours, however, some sessions may not fill the two hour time slot.
