- Description
- Section 911 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 establishes Medicare Contracting Reform (MCR) that will be implemented over the next several years. Under this provision, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will use competitive procedures to replace the current Medicare Fiscal Intermediaries and Carriers with new Medicare Administrative Contractors by 2011. CMS will restructure and modernize its current Medicare Fee-for-Service operations to support this reformed policy framework. In order to effectively communicate CMS? initiatives on MCR, a Contracting Reform Website was developed and is available at: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/medicarereform/contractingreform/. Currently, this Website provides information on: (1) Major milestone dates of the legislation pertaining to MCR; (2) Section 911 legislative text, and (3) Reference materials (i.e., Federal Acquisition Regulation, CMS online Manuals). CMS will continually update and improve its Medicare Contracting Reform Website. In addition, we are interested in your feedback regarding Contracting Reform. A link (Submit a Question/Comment on Contracting Reform) is available for users to submit any questions or comments relating to Contracting Reform.
