Welcome to Palmetto GBA’s Events and Education web page.

The Provider Outreach and Education department (POE) educates providers and their staff regarding the fundamentals of the Medicare program, national and local policies, procedures, new Medicare initiatives, significant changes to the Medicare program, and issues identified through data analysis.

Webinars

Providers can join POE for scheduled webinars on a variety of Medicare-related topics. Many of these webinars include live Q&A sessions with the instructor. Many webinars are archived in our video library for playback at the viewer's convenience.

Self-Paced Computer-Based Learning 

Self-paced computer-based learning sessions allow providers to access interactive education on a wide range of topics. Some of this training includes pre- and post-test questions to test a user’s knowledge before and after each session.

Live In-Person

Live and in-person education events enable providers to glean current Medicare and CMS guidance along with the ability to network and interact directly with the POE team. Some of these events are the result of speaker requests from various organizations. 

Focused Training

Focused training is offered to providers on an as-needed basis by way of teleconference or webinar. Providers are encouraged to use the self-paced learning opportunities prior to requesting education. If individual education is needed, providers may complete and submit a Request an Education Session form (PDF).

Partnerships

Palmetto GBA also partners with a number of entities to assist in sharing important Medicare education and to host and notify the provider community of upcoming educational opportunities. If you are interested in POE speaking at your event, complete a Request a Speaker form (PDF) and submit it for consideration. Requestors will be contacted by a member of Palmetto GBA's POE team to discuss the specifics and advise as to whether or not a speaker can be provided.
