NGS Medicare Administrative Contractor

National Government Services is a U.S. healthcare services and government contracting company that serves as a Medicare Administrative Contractor for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Rather than being a drug developer or biotech company, it administers Medicare fee-for-service operations, including claims processing, provider support, contact center services, and related health IT and program management functions. The company has long specialized in federal healthcare programs and reports processing very large Medicare claim volumes and serving hundreds of thousands of providers annually. As of April 2026, National Government Services is operating as Wellpoint Federal while continuing Medicare and broader federal health operations.
