When will the Medicare Secondary Payor Questionnaire (MSP) be completed?
A patient access representative will complete the Medicare secondary payor questionnaire (MSP) when you arrive for your surgery, test or procedure. Federal law requires that providers of medical services to Medicare beneficiaries determine whether or not there is other insurance coverage for the beneficiary that should be billed before a claim is submitted to Medicare. Providers, such as hospitals, must be able to document that they have screened for other insurance coverage by asking the beneficiary questions which will identify if other insurance is available. The Medicare questionnaire contains all of the necessary questions that need to be asked of the beneficiary to determine if there is other insurance that is primary to Medicare. Accurately completing the Medicare secondary payor questionnaire ensures expedient payments to providers, as well as compliance with Medicare rules and regulations.
