Medicare Contracting Reform Update

[Guest guest]

On November 9, 2011, CMS awarded Jurisdiction 4 (Texas Oklahoma, New Mexico, and

Colorado) and Jurisdiction 7 (Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi) to Highmark

Medicare Services. CMS will combine these 2 Jurisdictions into Jurisdiction H.

To no surprise, a protest of the award was filed on November 22, 2011. The

Government Accountability Office decision on the protest is expected by March

2012.
