The Medicare Learning Network

Welcome to The Medicare Learning Network area. The Medicare Learning Network was established in response to increased Medicare health care professional usage of the Internet as a learning resource. It is designed to provide you with the appropriate tools to aid in:

the proper submission of Medicare claims; and
the appropriate payment for services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries.
