CMS website gets a makeover

by: Lauren C. Williams Dec 5, 2011

Your favorite payer’s website just got a much needed face-lift over the weekend. That’s right; the new and improved CMS.gov has the look and feel of www.healthcare.gov with the same information as before in a more cornea-friendly format and, in some cases, a new location. Medicaid now also has its own site housed at www.medicaid.gov.

Here’s what’s in stock for the new CMS and Medicaid sites:

A significantly improved search engine that gets you to the information you’re looking for, fast.
More in-depth information about what we’re doing to implement the Affordable Care Act and other new initiatives, and details about how you can apply for new programs.
Up-to-date, real-time updates that reflect important developments and initiatives happening with CMS programs.
Medicaid program information that’s readily available, easy to find, and easy to use— and we’ll be continually looking for ways to enhance your experience on this site.
Easy-to-access links to Healthcare.gov, which will continue to be the primary site for consumer information.

NOTE: CMS plans to launch an archive version of each of its websites to preserve historic information online, CMS says.
