This award is not just a routine contract renewal; it represents a significant validation of Novitas's outstanding commitment to delivering high-quality services. The Jurisdiction H contract includes several states including Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, covering approximately 5 million Medicare beneficiaries and over 150,000 healthcare providers.

Continuing Excellence since 2012

Having held the Jurisdiction H contract since 2012, Novitas Solutions has consistently showcased its exceptional performance, which undoubtedly influenced CMS’s decision to continue its partnership. Harvey Dikter, the President and CEO of Novitas Solutions, expressed pride in receiving this contract, emphasizing that it reflects the hard work and dedication of the Novitas team. "This award highlights our unwavering commitment to providing the best service to CMS, beneficiaries, and providers," Dikter stated.

Scope of the Contract

As the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) under this award, Novitas will be responsible for several critical functions, including administrative services for processing and paying claims for both Medicare Parts A and B. This is vital for ensuring that healthcare providers are reimbursed efficiently, and beneficiaries receive the necessary services.

The JH contract encompasses a wide array of administrative duties that support the health care system funded by Medicare. The efficient management of these processes is not only crucial for the financial health of the service providers but also for the sustainability and effectiveness of the Medicare program as a whole.

As Novitas moves forward, the focus will remain on not just meeting, but exceeding the expectations set forth in this contract. This involves an ongoing commitment to innovation and enhancements aimed at improving the customer experience within the JH community.

Dikter further elaborated on the company’s future objectives: "We will continue to seek innovative ways to enhance the experience for our community, thereby tackling the sustainability challenges faced by healthcare programs."
