How does the government shutdown affect payment of your claims?

How does the government shutdown affect payment of your claims?

In a tweet made by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shortly after the partial government shutdown began in December 2018, CMS stated, “CMS and its programs (including, but not limited to, @Medicaregov, @Medicaidgov and @Healthcaregov) are NOT affected by the partial gov’t shutdown.” This means that providers should not expect delays in Medicare and Medicaid claims processing and payment due to the shutdown, according to Anders Gilberg, SVP of Government Affairs for MGMA, “We expect the first electronic claims for 2019 to be paid next week. If you encounter any problems, please let MGMA government know.”
