Medicare Compliance & Reimbursement
Get Ready for the Jurisdiction J Transition
If you are a Medicare provider in Alabama, Georgia, or Tennessee, your practice claims, questions, and concerns will now be dealt with by a new Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC). Currently, Cahaba GBA is the MAC for Jurisdiction J (JJ), but last September, CMS alerted providers that it had awarded "the Jurisdiction J (Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee) Medicare Part A/B contract to Palmetto GBA" starting in 2018, said a Cahaba GBA release. Part A is slated for transition on Jan. 29, 2018 while Part B changes over on Feb. 26, 2018. To ensure the smooth transition from one MAC to another and avoid the chances of Medicare reimbursement disruption, Palmetto GBA is offering affected providers and practices guidance, workshops, and advice on the transition and its policies.
