The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services awarded Noridian Healthcare Solutions the $152.8 million Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Medicare Jurisdiction D contract for the third time. The contract period for the new award includes a base year and the option for six one-year option periods.
Covering 17 states and three US territories, Noridian processes more than 13 million fee-for-service claims for nearly 25,000 DME, prosthetics, and orthotics suppliers, resulting in $2.6 billion in payments for the contract. Jurisdiction D includes 8.7 million beneficiaries and accounts for 24 percent of the national DME workload.
Noridian employs more than 2,000 employees across the United States.
“The performance of the Noridian DME team reflects our commitment to performing at a high level for our customers,” said Tina Breiland, project manager. “It also reflects the business continuity of Noridian, and the employees dedicated to the Medicare program. The people who performed this work as the incumbent are credited with this re-award.”
