Medicare Part B Providers and Trading Partners in Connecticut and New York (Jurisdiction 13) Experiencing System and Payment Issues

Due to system issues, Part B providers and trading partners in Connecticut and New York are currently unable to access the MCS system.

Both electronic and paper remittance advice and Claims Status Response 277 files from the Wednesday, June 30 cycle will be delayed until late tonight, Thursday, July 1 or very early tomorrow, Friday, July 2.

Additionally, a Part B cycle will not run on Thursday, July, 1, 2010. Claims for July 1 will be processed on July 2, along with the claims for July 2. Payments will be subject to all CMS payment floor and claim timeliness guidelines. We expect remittances and 277 Claim Status Inquiry Response transactions to be available on Tuesday, July 6.

Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve these issues.
