The big switch to the new RDS Secure Website is right around the corner! CMS’ RDS Center will implement the modernized, redesigned Secure Website after close of business on Friday, April 15th, 2022. 

Our goal is to make this transition as easy as possible for you. To prepare, please join us for a “re-watch party” of the original Launch Webinar we held earlier this year! Watch and listen as we walk you through many of the process steps in the new system so you can feel comfortable and confident when the site goes live. 

This presentation is intended for all Plan Sponsors and Vendors who use the RDS Secure Website.
