Add Provider Measures to the Program Integrity Management Reporting (PIMR) System
CMS developed the PIMR system for the management of cost, savings, and workload data relative to the medical review (MR) unit and other benefit integrity (BI) functions. Mainly, the PIMR data relates to how contractors resolve billing problems. CMS obtains PIMR information through interfaces with the shared systems. Those interfaces are operated through contractor data centers, i.e., Enterprise Data Center (EDC) or a contractor data center (CDC), transferring data directly from the contractor shared system implementation of PIMR to the central office computer within 15 calendar days following the end of each month.
