Converting the BSIs for the Providers Transitioning from WPS Legacy Workload (formerly processed by Mutual of Omaha) to the J1 A/B Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC)
The providers transitioning from WPS to the J1 A/B MAC shall receive a BSI slightly modified from the ones currently being used for the providers located in the J1 geographic area. This is being done so that workload reports can be produced which aggregate data for all the J1 providers by state. In addition, this Change Request (CR) specifies that the J1 A/B MAC shall combine and report the data for both of its Part A CICS regions by state. Finally, this CR specifies that if a Qualified Chain
Provider that will be transitioning to the J1 MAC is not located in the J1 A/B MAC geographic area, it shall be assigned the BSI corresponding with the BSI of its home office.
