Performance Data
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administers and oversees the Provider Customer Service Program (PCSP) at the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs). CMS analyzes data to identify trends and make recommendations to improve the performance of the Medicare Fee-for-Service provider contact centers, the provider self-service technology options and to increase provider satisfaction.
Key performance measures for the previous 3 months are available below so MACs can measure their performance against the national data.
