I noticed that CMS has upgraded their Medicare Learning Network web based training site. This site has free Medicare education and is an information resource. It is now found at https://learner.mlnlms.com/Default.aspx   “The Medicare Learning Network® (MLN) is the home for education, information, and resources for the health care professional community.  The MLN provides access to CMS Program information you need, when you need it, so you can focus more on providing care to your patients.”     The catalog is available at https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNProducts/downloads/MLNCatalog.pdf     If you already had an account with them, the information was transferred to the new site. If not you can register for a free account.  Directions for both can be found at https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNProducts/Downloads/LMS-Upgrade.pdf     ...
