Billing Primary Payers Before Billing Medicare Plans

20.1 - General Policy: (https://www.cms.gov/regulations-and-guidance/guidance/manuals/downloads/msp105c03.pdf)

(Rev. 123, Issued: 08-17-18, Effective: 11-20-18, Implementation: 11-20-18)

Based on the law and regulations, providers, physicians, and other suppliers are required to file claims with Medicare using billing information obtained from the beneficiary to whom the item or service is furnished. Section 1862(b)(6) of the Act, (42 USC 1395y(b)(6)), requires all entities seeking payment for any item or service furnished under Part B to complete, on the basis of information obtained from the individual to whom the item or service is furnished, the portion of the claim form relating to the availability of other health insurance. Additionally, 42 CFR 489.20(g) requires that all providers must agree “to bill other primary payers before billing Medicare.”

Thus, any providers, physicians, and other suppliers that bill Medicare for services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries must determine whether or not Medicare is the primary payer for those services. This must be accomplished by asking Medicare beneficiaries, or their representatives, questions concerning the beneficiary’s MSP status.
