Beginning on July 1, the Jurisdiction B Durable Medicare Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractor (DME MAC) duties will be assumed by CGS Administrators. June 30 is the last day National Government Services (NGS) will administer the Jurisdiction B DME MAC contract.
Following close of business on June 30, the NGS Jurisdiction B website will no longer be available for suppliers to obtain related content. CGS will launch the new Jurisdiction B website on July 1 and assume distribution of important messages so suppliers do not see a gap in information distribution. The CGS secure web portal will be available on July 5.
CGS activated its Jurisdiction B fax lines on June 27, which suppliers may use to initiate a redetermination or reopening and submit additional support documentation; initiate an Advance Determination of Medicare Coverage (ADMC); initiate a Power Mobility Devices Prior Authorization Request (PMD PAR); or respond to an additional documentation request (ADR). However, CGS cannot begin processing faxed requests or documentation until transition of the Jurisdiction B contract is completed on July 5.
Additional information regarding implementation can be viewed on the CGS DME MAC Jurisdiction B Implementation Website.
