On January 7, 2009, CMS announced the contractors for the remaining MAC ( MEDICARE ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACTORS) jurisdictions.

“The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today announced the final five contractors that will process and pay Medicare claims for health care services under the Medicare Fee-for-Service program. The new contracts that will be administered for up to five years will process and pay 36 percent of the national volume of Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) claims payments in 14 states, mostly in the South and Midwest. These are services furnished by hospitals, physicians and other health care providers to people with Medicare. CMS now has met its goal of awarding all 15 Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) contracts."
