Part B Overpayments
When you identify a Medicare Part B Overpayment, here are some helpful hints on how to expedite the processing of your checks timely and accurately.
- Keep MSP refunds separate from Non-MSP refunds
- Send in separate checks for Demand refunds and Voluntary Refunds
- For voluntary refunds, complete the voluntary refund form
- For demand refunds, attach the first page of the demand letter
- For MSP refunds, attach the primary EOB
- Limit the number of beneficiaries on a check will help expedite the overpayment request much quicker (the more that are on the check the longer it takes to process)
- Be sure to send all documentation needed for processing the refund
We would like to suggest that the provider follow these guidelines when issuing checks to Part B Overpayment Recovery.
