CGS Administrators, LLC Privacy Policy

Last reviewed: 06.03.24

CGS Administrators, LLC ("CGS" or "We") protects the privacy of personally identifiable information ("PII") collected on this CGS' Web Site (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy describes the PII We collect and how We use, disclose, and protect the PII that the user ("You") provides to CGS.

The Information We Collect

While using the Site, You may provide us with two types of PII:

  • Medicare Claims-Related PII. "Medicare Claims-Related PII" is information that directly relates to CGS Administrators' processing of claims for the Medicare Fee-for-Service program. This information includes, for example, the Legal Business Name, Company Address, Company Phone Number, Tax ID/EIN, PTAN, National Provider Identifier, and other information about the health care provider that You represent. It also includes claims, eligibility inquiries, claim status inquiries, redetermination requests, and information regarding repayments of Medicare overpayments.
  • Other PII. "Other PII" is information We collect that is NOT directly related to CGS' processing of claims for the Medicare Fee-for-Service program. This information includes, for example, names of administrators and users and their e-mail addresses, Security Question information, and other identifying information. We also may collect any information You submit in questions You send us through our "Contact Us" or similar features. By providing Other PII to us, You authorize us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Medicare Claims-Related PII is subject to the privacy policies of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), which administers the Medicare program. CMS describes those policies on various forms you complete as part of the process to enroll in Medicare, on CMS claims forms and other CMS forms. We collect and use Medicare Claims-Related PII (including Social Security Numbers) on CMS's behalf under the authority of the Social Security Act §§ 1842, 1862(b), and 1874 (42 U.S.C. §§ 1395u, 1395y(b), and 1395kk). As CMS's contractor, We must use, disclose, and safeguard Medicare Claims-Related PII in accordance with the applicable CMS policy. This Privacy Policy does not address Medicare Claims-Related PII.

This Privacy Policy applies only to Other PII.

We use Other PII for the purposes of (a) identifying valid users, (b) determining role-based access, (c) authenticating and approving access for conducting transactions related to processing of claims for the Medicare Fee-for-Service program and (d) responding to your inquiries. Except for our vendors who must comply with this Privacy Policy, We do not share Other PII with entities unless they are government agencies or entities performing functions on behalf of government agencies. In response to inquiries, We may disclose Other PII to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, or Congressional Offices. We may disclose Other PII to federal and state agencies for matters relating to fraud, program abuse, utilization review, quality assurance, peer review, program integrity, third-party liability, coordination of benefits, and civil and criminal litigation. You do not have the option to consent to or opt out of these uses or disclosures, and by providing Other PII to us, you authorize us to use and to make disclosures of the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If You decline to provide Other PII to us (thereby authorizing us to use and to make disclosures of the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy), you will be unable to use the Site.

Safeguarding Information

CGS is obligated by the federal Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. Section 552a to protect your privacy. We use a variety of secure techniques designed to protect Other PII. These techniques include the following:

  • We require you to use a user name, password, and Multifactor Authentication (MFA) code to access the Site. You are responsible for keeping your password secure, however.
  • We regularly review our information safeguards with respect to collection, storage, and processing of Other PII, including administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards, to minimize the likelihood of unauthorized access to the Site.
  • We permit only employees or contractors who need to access Other PII in order to efficiently operate the Site and conduct transactions with You. These employees and contractors are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.

Data collected through our websites will be kept long enough to achieve the specified objective for which they were collected. The data generated from these activities is subject to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) General Records Schedule (GRS) (https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/grs.htmlExternal website) sections GRS 3.1, GRS 3.2, GRS 4.1 and GRS 4.3; and will be retained and destroyed according to the requirements of the schedules set out therein.
