Paper-Based Manuals

Paper-based manuals are CMS manuals that were officially released in hardcopy. The majority of these manuals were transferred into the Internet-only manual (IOM) or retired from the manual. Pub 15-1, Pub 15-2 and Pub 45 are exceptions to this rule and are still active Paper-Based Manuals. The remaining paper-based manuals are for reference purposes only and have been archived. The archived manuals can be accessed using the following URL: http://wayback.archive-it.org/2744/20111201152312/http://www.cms.gov/Manuals/PBM/list.asp. If you notice policy contained in the paper-based manuals that was not transferred to the IOM, send a message via the CMS Feedback tool below.
