The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently selected Noridian Healthcare Solutions to continue as its Part A and Part B Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction E (JE) after an open competitive procurement process. This means that Noridian will continue to process claims for California, Nevada, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and Northern Mariana Islands. Jurisdiction E serves 118,765 physicians and over 440 hospitals and represents nearly 10% of the national Medicare Part A and B claims volume.

The contract period for the new award includes a base year and six optional one-year renewal years, with a total value of $525 million. Noridian was first awarded the JE contract in 2012.
