Reed & Associates, CPAs was re-designated by CMS as the national contractor responsible for processing retroactive transactions for all Medicare Advantage Organizations, Part D Sponsors, Cost-Based Plans, and PACE Organizations in July 2018. Under the terms of this contract, Reed validates and processes retroactive requests for enrollments, disenrollments, PBP changes, health status category changes, state and county code changes and dual-eligibility status changes for LIS and Medicaid beneficiaries. All requests submitted by organizations must be in accordance with the processes outlined in the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) developed by CMS. In addition, all retroactive adjustment requests are reviewed against the guidelines established in the Medicare Managed Care Manual of Chapters 2, and 17d, and the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Manual of Chapters 3 and 13.

As the prime contractor of the Retroactive Processing contract, it is our responsibility to support CMS’ program integrity efforts and to safeguard program funds by processing retroactive requests, applicable enrollment data submitted by plans to identify possible trends and outliers.
