The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is required to protect the Medicare Trust Fund against inappropriate payments which pose a risk to the Trust Fund. Therefore, we are resuming Medicare Fee-for-Service medical review activities. The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) continues to be monitored very closely. Providers should contact Performant Customer Service at 866-201-0580 to discuss any COVID-19 related hardships and to request any necessary extensions.
