MACs Resume Medical Review on a Post-Payment Basis

To protect the Medicare Trust Fund against inappropriate payments, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) are resuming fee-for-service medical review activities. Beginning August 17, the MACs resumed with post-payment reviews of items/services provided before March 1, 2020. The Targeted Probe and Educate program (intensive education to assess provider compliance through up to three rounds of review) will restart later. The MACs will continue to offer detailed review decisions and education as appropriate.

On June 2, 2021, CMS announced that the MACs may continue conducting post-payment medical reviews to include dates of service after March 1, 2020.
