Implementation of the Award for the J5 A/B MAC Reprocurement Including a New Workload Number for the Remaining WPS Legacy Workload

CMS is required to compete the A/B MAC workloads at least once every 5 years. It recently did so for the Jurisdiction 5 A/B MAC and awarded this workload to WPS, the incumbent contractor. CMS has determined that it will not need to change the current Jurisdiction 5 workload numbers when this new contract is implemented. This applies to the Part B states of: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska Providers as of Sept. 10, 2012.

WPS Medicare: MAC J5 contract, administering Part A and B benefits in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska ; Legacy Medicare Part B administering Part B benefits in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota ; future MAC J8 contract, administering Part A and B benefits in Indiana and Michigan
