Common Working File (CWF) Southwest Host Dark Day on Saturday, December 2, 2006 All Fiscal Intermediaries, Carriers, Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers (DMERCs), DME Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), and A/B MACs On Saturday, December 2, 2006, the CWF Southwest Host will be conducting a history purge. Due to the anticipated duration of this activity and the need to ensure the completion of weekly processing and scheduled data center maintenance, there will be a CWF dark day on that Saturday. This will mean there will be no access to HIMR and provider eligibility queries, which are usually available until noon on Saturdays. All files received from satellites for Friday’s cycle will be completed prior to bringing CWF production down. If for any reason satellite files are received late Saturday morning, they will be processed by CWF after the history purge has been completed.
