Instructions for Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS), Multi-Carrier System (MCS) and Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System (HIGLAS) Changes
The HIGLAS project is currently in the development and transition phase. The maintainers of the MCS and FISS shared systems will implement changes into the shared systems and continue development of programs and processes during this phase. HIGLAS transactions must comply with the implementation guides and functional specifications. If problems are detected, problem resolution must occur in a timely manner. The shared system maintainers have been funded outside maintenance for this activity. These changes will impact only those Medicare contractors on HIGLAS.
