• Proposed and adopted regulations
• Public hearings
• Changes in billing procedures or policy
• Documentation requirements
• Changes in covered and/or allowable codes
• Provider training schedules

Please review RA messages weekly, available beginning on the second page of your RA and published on the RA Messages webpage.
