Illinois-Specific Requirements

National Government Services (NGS), operating under MAC Jurisdiction K/J6, processes all Medicare Part A/B claims for Illinois. Illinois is one of the largest markets in the NGS jurisdiction, with major provider concentrations in the Chicago metropolitan area. Enroll via PECOS using CMS-855I (individual) or CMS-855B (group). CMS has designated certain Chicago-area zip codes as high-risk for specific provider types, which may trigger enhanced screening including fingerprint-based background checks and application fees. A valid NPI is required, and revalidation occurs every 5 years. Initial enrollment takes 60–90 days.
