A/B MACs (Part B) and DME MACs receive the MSP software through their standard
system along with the Medicare Secondary Payment Technical Manual documenting, and
describing the execution of the MSPPAY Module(s). The input data elements and output
data elements required are referenced in these manuals. The Medicare Integrated Systems
Testing (MIST) contractor is responsible for testing and verifying the accuracy of the
MSPPAY software when updates are implemented. A/B MACs (Part B) and DME MACs
also test the MSPPAY software independently and review the results.
