Overpayments

MSP Post-Pay Adjustments

If you have received an overpayment because Medicare paid as the primary insurer and another insurance carrier should be the primary payer, follow the instructions on the Part A voluntary refund form.

  • A separate refund form is needed for each date of service needing adjustment.
  • The reason code area must be completed assigning the appropriate MSP provision to the overpayment (no fault, worker’s compensation etc.).
  • Include the explanation of benefits from the primary payer with the voluntary refund form.

You have two options:

  1. Submit a check with the Part A voluntary refund form. When the claim(s) is adjusted, Medicare will apply the monies to the overpayment.
  2. Submit the Part A voluntary refund form without a check and when the claim(s) is adjusted, Medicare will take back the overpayments through the offset process.
