The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) says the
annual

of physicians and other health care professionals in the Medicare
system shows they are satisfied with services provided by Medicare
fee-for-service contractors. The average score was 4.51 on a scale
of 1 to 6, compared with last year's average score of
4.56.
CMS says the survey indicates "a relatively smooth
transition" to the new Medicare administrative contractors
(MACs).
The survey gives CMS objective, quantifiable data on provider
satisfaction with the fee-for-service contractors who process and
pay Medicare claims.
