Indemnification Claims
(Rev. 1, 10-01-03)
The contractor, SSO, RO, or central office may receive requests or inquiries concerning
indemnification. However, a beneficiary or person(s) who made payment on behalf of the
beneficiary to a liable provider usually visits his/her nearest SSO or deals directly with
the contractor to file a request for indemnification.
Those offices are responsible for assisting beneficiaries or any person(s) in filing claims
for indemnification.
