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.
