Emergency Change to the CWF Pacific Host’s Internal Control File for the A/B Medicare Administrative Contractor Jurisdiction 3 Part B Merge
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is currently
working with the Medicare Carrier System (MCS) maintainer to modify its logic for sending claims to the
Common Working File (CWF) hosts following production region merges. However, the MCS maintainer
will not be able to make these changes prior to the completion of the J3 Part B merge. The requirements
within this Change Request (CR) are a one time only modification for the CWF shared system to modify the
contractor table to accommodate the Utah and Montana workloads. This will also include one time only
instructions to the Pacific Host to add the Utah and Montana contractor numbers to their control files.
