Get information on how to transition to the new Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC)

According to the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is required to more competitively select companies that process physician claims. A special edition of "MLN Matters," from the Medicare Learning Network, alerts fee-for-service physicians about what to expect as their carrier transitions its work to a new Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC). Preparing for this process can help physicians minimize disruptions in their Medicare business.
"MLN Matters" is a series of national articles designed by CMS to inform physicians, providers and suppliers about the latest changes to the Medicare program. AMCNO members may want to access the above mentioned “MLN Matters” to garner additional information on what you need to know about changing to a new contractor since Ohio has been assigned a new MAC – Highmark Medicare Services (HMS) for the combined administration of Part A and Part B Medicare claims payments.
