NAS will consolidate Jurisdiction 2 and Jurisdiction 3

On July 21, 2010, CMS notified Noridian Administrative Services (NAS) that it would consolidate the Jurisdiction 2 and Jurisdiction 3 workloads and Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) contracts and issue a new request for proposal (RFP).

CMS has decided to cancel the J2 A/B MAC procurement and consolidate the J2 and J3 workloads into a new RFP that will be completed in the near future.

NAS holds the legacy Medicare contracts for the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho (Part A) and Alaska, which compose the J2 contract. NAS is also the current contractor for J3, which includes North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Arizona and is the legacy Medicare Part A contractor for Minnesota.

Impact to Providers NAS will continue to administer the legacy states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho (Part A) and Alaska and will continue as the J3 MAC contractor until the new combined J2/J3 is implemented. NAS will also continue as the Minnesota legacy Part A contractor.
