Effective September 1, 2019, MAXIMUS Federal will serve as the DME QIC for the entire United States and the U.S. territories. This means that any requests for reconsiderations received on or after September 1, 2019 will be processed by MAXIMUS and will need to be submitted to MAXIMUS. Any requests received before September 1, 2019 will be processed by the previous QIC. Information on how to file a reconsideration request can be found by visiting the How to File an Appeal page.
Redeterminations will continue to be handled by the DME MACs, CGS and Noridian. Instructions on how to file a reconsideration request, including the correct mailing address, will be included on the Medicare Redetermination Notice.
Upon receipt of your request for reconsideration, you will receive an acknowledgement notice containing the next steps of your appeal. If you have questions regarding the DME appeals process contact MAXIMUS Federal DME QIC at, MaximusQICDemo@maximus.com
