CMS' mission is to ensure health care security for beneficiaries. A major component in achieving this mission is the successful administration of Original Medicare, or Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare. Medicare Contracting Reform (or section 911 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003) is a major component in achieving this mission. Section 911 mandates that the Secretary for Health & Human Services replace the current contracting authority to administer the Medicare Part A and Part B FFS programs, contained under Sections 1816 and 1842 of the Social Security Act, with the new Medicare Administrative Contactor authority. Through the implementation of Medicare Contracting Reform, CMS will establish a premier health plan that allows for comprehensive, quality care and world-class beneficiary and provider service. If you would like to share any comments, suggestions, or concerns about Medicare Contracting Reform with CMS we invite you to use the link below. CMS is unable to respond to individual feedback. However, it will be used in the development of Frequently Asked Questions. Additionally, we plan to use feedback submitted to help guide our planning and broaden communication efforts for Medicare Contracting Reform.
