During the initial implementation phase (2005-2011), CMS plans to compete and award contracts for 15 A/B MACs servicing the majority of all types of providers (both Part A and Part B). CMS designed the new MAC jurisdictions to balance the allocation of workloads, promote competition, account for integration of claims processing activities, and mitigate the risk to the Medicare program during the transition to the new contractors. The new jurisdictions reasonably balance the number of fee-for-service beneficiaries and providers. These jurisdictions will be substantially more alike in size than the existing fiscal intermediary and carrier jurisdictions, and they will promote much greater efficiency in processing Medicare's billion claims a year. The map of all jurisdictions as well as fact sheets for each jurisdiction are available below.
