MEDICARE  TESTING PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS TO HELP BENEFICIARIES 
BETTER MANAGE OWN HEALTH CARE

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today announced a 
new project expanding its efforts to encourage Medicare beneficiaries 
to take advantage of Internet-based tools to track their health care 
services and provide them with other resources to better communicate 
with their providers.

This pilot program will enable certain beneficiaries to access and 
use a Personal Health Record (PHR) provided through participating 
health plans, and accessible through www.mymedicare.gov.
