Interpreting Section 1011 of the Medicare Modernization Act may now be a little easier for healthcare providers. With a little help from the contractor TrailBlazer Health Enterprises-contractor to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services-those with questions about Section 1011-the act that authorized funding to reimburse hospitals for some of the emergency care they give to undocumented immigrants-can have their questions answered. The contractor answers providers' frequently asked questions via a "Q & A" format found on its Web site, and through a listserv where those interested can email their questions.
