What Services Will Peraton Provide to CMS?
Under the contract, Peraton will support the claims processing system for DME prosthetics, orthotics and supplies.
According to the request for information posted on SAM.gov in May 2025, work will cover system stability, modernization initiatives, automation efforts and compliance with legislative and CMS mandates.
The selected contractor will also be in charge of obtaining the claims processing system’s computer software.
DME Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies’ claims system is built primarily in Common Business Oriented Language, or COBOL, and Assembler Language Code, or ALC, and includes thousands of programs supporting online and batch claims functions. It performs pre-payment reviews, duplicate checks, eligibility verification and other functions.
