The Office of the Medicare Beneficiary Ombudsman welcomes your feedback on its ODF. We want to ensure these forums are topical, address your information needs, and provide you with the opportunity to share with the Ombudsman feedback on program successes and opportunities to improve the beneficiary's service experience. Please submit ODF feedback or suggestions (via the link under the "Related Links Inside CMS" section below) to let us know if this ODF meets your needs and how it might be improved. We also welcome suggestions on topics for future ODFs. Please note that this link is for feedback and suggestions for the Ombudsman ODF and not for general questions or comments.
