How will I know if Medicare has transferred the remainder of a patient’s claim to his/her supplemental insurance company?
A. Once Medicare has completed the claim processing (and if the claim was completed properly with the secondary payer information) you will see on the Medicare Remittance Advice (RA) if the claim was forwarded to the other insurance for processing (this is called Coordination of Benefits). You should check the Remark/Reason Code for clarification of the transfer.
