J5 Implementation Information
On September 5, 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corporation (WPS) has been awarded the Medicare contract to provide Part A and Part B administrative services for the states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
The award is part of a Congressional requirement to replace all current Medicare Part A and B contracts with new contract entities called Medicare Administrative Contractors, or MACs. As a MAC, WPS will serve as a single point-of-contact entity, processing Medicare Part A and Part B claims from hospitals and other institutional providers, physicians, and other practitioners within this four-state region. The new single contract replaces the existing six contracts.
Our strong and successful working relationship with Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota customers is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to provide quality services to all customers. We are proud to serve you!
