The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the launch of the new section on the CMS public website to house contract and enrollment data about MA and Part D plans. The site can be found at: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MCRAdvPartDEnrolData/

This site provides: a) a plan directory, and b) an MA claims processing contact directory. These directories contain basic information about the contract as well as contact information for the plan itself. CMS will update these directories on a monthly basis. Also, CMS is providing these data in three formats: a PDF document sorted by contract name, a PDF document sorted by contract number, and an Excel version.
