50 - MSP Pay Modules to Calculate Medicare Secondary Payment
Amount
(Rev. 11550; Issued: 08-12-22; Effective: 10-13-22; Implementation:10-13-22)
The MSP Payment Modules are used to calculate the Medicare secondary payment
amount. The calculation is based on information from the claim, payment calculation
amounts and the primary insurer's explanation of benefits data for hardcopy claims.
The A/B MACs (Part A), A/B MACs (Part B), and A/B MACs (Part HHH)
(collectively referred to as A/B MACs) and the DME MACs, through the shared
systems, send the appropriate data which includes submitted charges, the other payer
allowed amount (Part B claims only), the other payer paid amount, the obligated to
accept in full (OTAF) amount, and Medicare’s fee schedule amount to the MSP
payment modules, identified below, to calculate the secondary payment amount.
