# DME MAC

A DME MAC is a Medicare Administrative Contractor that processes Medicare durable medical equipment claims for a region. Florida claims go to DME MAC Jurisdiction C.

CMS defines a Medicare Administrative Contractor as a private health care insurer that has been awarded a geographic jurisdiction to process Medicare claims. A DME MAC does this for [durable medical equipment](https://analgesic.multisites.ai/glossary/durable-medical-equipment) claims. CMS says Jurisdiction C processes Medicare fee-for-service DME claims for Florida and other states. DME MACs also write [local coverage determinations](https://analgesic.multisites.ai/glossary/local-coverage-determination), such as L33802 for TENS units. The LCD lists CGS Administrators, LLC for Jurisdiction C. Your clinician or supplier handles the claim steps.
