The Role of Medicare Administrative Contractors: Enrollment to Payment

January 25, 2024

AMHCA and the Medicare Mental Health Workforce Coalition, in collaboration with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), are proud to present “The Role of Medicare Administrative Contractors: Enrollment to Payment” on Feb. 1, 2024, from noon–1 pm EST.

Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) are private health care insurers that have been awarded a multistate regional jurisdiction to process Medicare Part A and Part B medical and mental health care claims for Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries. CMS relies on MACs to serve as the primary operational contact between the Medicare program and enrolled mental health and medical care providers. There are currently 16 MACs that process Medicare FFS claims for nearly 35 million Medicare beneficiaries.

One hour of continuing education credit is available for attendance of the live event.

After this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• explain the work of MACs on Medicare enrollment, claims processing, payment, and other procedures.
• identify specific lessons for mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists.
• explain other MAC services.
• identify available resources to educate and help Medicare-enrolled providers.
