CIGNA Is New Medicare Intermediary
CMS has made a decision on the J15 Medicare Administrative Contract (MAC), which includes Medicare Parts A and B for Ohio and Kentucky. As many of you are aware, Palmetto GBA teamed with another contractor to submit a proposal for Ohio and Kentucky. This proposal was not successful during the rebid process. CMS has awarded the J15 MAC to CIGNA. We will continue to share information with you through the Palmetto GBA Web site and listserv as more details become available regarding how these decisions will affect you. You may also refer to the CMS Web site for press releases (http://www.cms.gov/apps/media/press_releases.asp) and updates to the Medicare Contracting Reform Web page (http://www.cms.gov/MedicareContractingReform/02_Spotlight.asp#TopOfPage) for additional updates.
