Medicare A&B – Eligibility Processing Issue

Medicare is currently processing very slowly.  The backlog from all vendor transactions is causing a backlog of requests.  CMS forwarded the below message.  We’ll continue to monitor and update.

[CMS]  HETS 270/271 As of 02/20/2014 10:45 AM: Please note that the Medicare 270/271 Eligibility system is currently returning responses with higher than normal average response times.
