Which regulatory body oversees Medicare policies that TeleAgents must adhere to?

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing Medicare policies that TeleAgents must adhere to. CMS plays a critical role in administering the nation's major healthcare programs including Medicare and Medicaid. It establishes guidelines, rules, and policies that govern how Medicare operates, including aspects like enrollment, eligibility, covered services, and reimbursement processes. For TeleAgents, understanding and following CMS guidelines is essential for ensuring compliance with Medicare regulations.

While other organizations such as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) have important roles in healthcare, they do not specifically regulate Medicare policies. The HHS encompasses a broader range of health-related issues, and the SSA primarily manages Social Security benefits, which are separate from the operational aspects of Medicare as managed by CMS. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also deals with consumer protection and antitrust regulations, which are not related to the specifics of Medicare policy oversight.
