This is especially important for all Medicare providers located in the states of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The Medicare providers in this region, known as Jurisdictions 13 and 14, will begin to see claim payments and remittance advices coming from National Government Services instead of NHIC. This transition is taking place on a schedule and that schedule is not only listed below but we have attached a handy pdf to this post to help you find all the information you need to know should you feel left out or have just missed it.
