Provider Contact Center (PCC) - JF Part A

Providers are required to utilize self-service options such as Noridian Medicare Portal (NMP) and the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to retrieve claim status and beneficiary eligibility details. Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) will refer providers to these resources.

To fully comply with this requirement, Noridian requires providers to obtain the below information from self-service options, when available. Providers without access to NMP must coordinate with his/her employer to gain access.

Beneficiaries must contact Medicare by calling 1-800-Medicare (1-800-633-4227).

PCC Assistance Structure

Noridian uses a triage approach to manage provider inquiries in accordance with CMS Internet Only Manual (IOM), Publication 100-09, Medicare Contractor Beneficiary and Provider Communications Manual, Chapter 6, Sections 30.1, 30.5 and 30.5.1. The use of self-serve technology enables the PCC to more efficiently handle the increasing volume of provider calls by allowing providers access to certain information without direct personal assistance from contractor staff.
