Congressman Henry Cuellar today announced that a representative from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will be in San Antonio, McAllen and Laredo, Texas this week to meet with doctors and hospitals who do business with CMS.

Congressman Cuellar will be accompanied by CMS representative Carmen Irwin as they meet with the medical service community to learn more about federal reimbursements for medical care, Durable Medical Equipment and other concerns.

The casual roundtable discussion will include the following topics:

• CMS reimbursements
• Working with a CMS contractor
• Durable medical equipment reimbursement
• General questions concerning CMS

“These discussions will provide an opportunity for medical service providers to speak informally with the CMS representative, address any issues, and improve the process of practice management with this federal agency,” said Congressman Cuellar.
