Change in Payment Schedule due to Cahaba GBA General Ledger Transition

Medicare Administrator, Cahaba Government Benefits Administration (GBA), began a general ledger system transition May 5.  This transition initially removed the Medicare payment floor resulting in earlier than usual payments.  From May 5 to May 10, no payments are being made by Cahaba GBA. Electronic Remittance Advices (ERAs) and paper RAs will also not be available during this time. Normal payment processing schedules are to resume May 10, along with the availability of ERAs.

Providers are encouraged to submit claims for processing as usual. Initially, providers will see an increase in payments, followed by a significant decrease on May 10.
