   Medicare is operated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services in cooperation with the Social Security Administration, it does not have a central claim-paying office for incoming claims. Rather, large insurance companies, chosen within each state, actually administer the claim payment process. So, from state to state, claim submissions are submitted to different entities. For example, claimants living in New Jersey submit claims to the New Jersey Medicare Claim Office.
