The relationship between The National MSP Network and CMS officials has been invaluable to my business. When the industry identifies concerning trends or questions, MSPN reaches out to CMS to get answers, work through problems and weigh
in on potential policy changes. I can always turn to MSPN to help my business navigate these ever-changing waters.
