Coordination of Insurance Services

Medicare MSP (Medicare Secondary Payer) refers to the process of ensuring that Medicare is not the primary payer for healthcare services when another insurance plan should be responsible. The Medicare Secondary Payer program requires certain group health plans, liability insurance, no-fault insurance, and workers’ compensation plans to pay claims before Medicare pays.

MSP Coordination of Insurance services typically involve identifying when another insurance plan is primary, coordinating benefits between Medicare and the primary payer, and ensuring that Medicare pays only what it is legally responsible for. This process helps prevent Medicare from overpaying for services and helps individuals maximize their healthcare benefits.
