Medicare Claims Submission for MMSEA111 Reporting

 

Has missing Medicare beneficiary data become a nightmare for you?  In light of the Coordination of Benefits Contractor (COBC) mandated reporting requirements, has the “missing data” problem just become a lot worse?

 

 

 

Transperien has a solution

 

The Government implemented MSP (Medicare Secondary Payer ) program shifts costs from Medicare to private sources of payment.

 

COBC’s function

 

The COBC is responsible for the performance of activities that support the collection, management, and reporting of other insurance coverage for Medicare beneficiaries. Its duties focus on activities to ensure that Medicare makes proper payments by identifying the correct payer before payments are made. It is primarily an information-gathering entity.

 

 

 

 

The COBC does not process any claims, nor does it handle any mistaken payment recoveries or claim-specific inquiries. The COBC has responsibility for establishing individual beneficiary MSP records on the Common Working File (CWF), the official source of beneficiary information for Medicare.

 

 

The Government implemented MSP(Medicare Secondary Payer ) program shifts costs from Medicare to private sources of payment 

 

 

 
•Before 2009, *Medicare was the “primary payer” — that is, it pays health claims first, and if a beneficiary has other insurance, that insurance may fill in all or some of Medicare’s gaps.
•Since mid-2009, **Medicare becomes the secondary  payer.  The Primary Payer responsibility now falls on:
 
1)a group health plan based on either their own or a spouse’s current employment;
 
2)auto and other liability insurance;
 
3)no-fault liability insurance; and
 
4)workers’ compensation situations, including the Black Lung program.

 

 

 

*Medicare is the nation’s health insurance program for qualifying individuals who are 65 and older, disabled, and those with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

** Special circumstantial rules decide on Medicare becoming the secondary payer.

   

 

In order to follow the mandatory process are you burdened with the following?

  • Manually creating query files
  • Joining data files
  • Creating headers and formatting
  • Manually checking the corrected files from COBC
  • Manually entering data into your claims systems
  • Lack of validation and no error code checking
