Attention providers: The Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services is on the line.

Today from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Central Standard Time, CMS is hosting a conference call on the Medicare Part D drug program. The program will consist of a 60-minute conference to enable discussions of issues and resolutions involving the program.
