PIMR Annual Update
The PIMR system implements the reporting requirements for medical review (MR) included in Publication 100-8 (Program Integrity Manual) Chapter 7 (MR and BI Reports) Sections 1, 5, and 6-10. The system facilitates the management of cost, savings, and workload data concerning the Medicare contractor medical review unit. This change request requires that all carriers and A/B Medicare administrative contractors (A/B MACs) enter information into their shared systems parameter tables to allow collection of information for fee schedule database updates for codes ending in “F” or “T”.
