The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) scheduled an agent/broker webinar for Friday, Sept. 20, 2013, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. (EDT). Only licensed agents or brokers can register for the webinar.

In order to register, licensed agents or brokers must first register for a REGTAP account, by visiting www.regtap.info. Following registration, licensed agents and brokers may sign up for the webinar using the registration code provided below.
