NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 22, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- CIGNA Government
Services, LLC (CGS) is looking to fill more than 200 positions as it ramps
up to serve more than 13 million additional Medicare providers, suppliers
and beneficiaries. The staffing surge is the result of a recent ruling by
the General Accounting Office (GAO) confirming that CGS will become the
government's Jurisdiction C Durable Medicare Equipment Medicare
Administrative Contractor (DME MAC). Jurisdiction C includes 15 southern
states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
As a Medicare Administrative Contractor, CGS performs a wide array of
administrative services for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS), including claims processing associated with Durable Medical
Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) under Part B of
the Medicare program.
"We are excited to expand on our contractual relationship with CMS, and
to provide service to millions of Medicare beneficiaries," said Jean Rush,
president of CIGNA Government Services. "We are very proud of the
high-quality service we provide and we look forward to extending that
service to our new customers in Jurisdiction C."
CGS will fill a range of positions in claims, quality and technical
areas, management and supervisory positions. Detailed information on
scheduled job fairs will be available in March. Information will also be
available at https://www.cignagovernmentservices.com/jobs
CIGNA Government Services and its predecessor companies have
administered the Medicare program and services since its inception in 1966.
In addition to the contract for Jurisdiction C, CIGNA Government Services
will continue to serve as the Medicare Part B carrier for Tennessee, North
Carolina and Idaho.
