The Contract Nobody Has to Re-Enroll For
CMS awarded the Jurisdiction H A/B MAC workload this week and the transmittal's whole point is that nothing about it changes: same workload identifiers, same FISS roll-ups, same BSIs, no provider education. Meanwhile eight coverage documents went live across four MACs this morning with no announcement at all, and four of them repriced a facet joint code pair.
A Medicare Administrative Contractor jurisdiction changed hands on Tuesday, and the entire content of the announcement is that nothing about it changes.
Transmittal 13928 gives the J-H Part A and Part B workload to Novitas Solutions, Inc., as the incumbent.
Same workload identifiers. Same FISS roll-up numbers. Same Business Segment Identifiers, all eighteen of them, spelled out in the attachment so there is no room to wonder.
Provider education: None. Impacted contractors: None.
If you bill Part A or Part B in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana or Mississippi, that is the best sentence CMS wrote all week.
"When is a contract award the thing you can safely ignore, and what got past you while you were reading it?"

The impact tables, the code-level detail, and the rest of the analysis sit past this line.
