60.12 – Financial Reporting for MSP Write-off/Closed
(Rev. 12438; Issued: 01-04-24; Effective: 02-06-24; Implementation: 02-06-24)
The following reporting is required for write-off debts closed by MSP Contractors:
a)
Associated interest for Write-off/Closed MSP Contractors shall use the amount of interest currently
carried in HIGLAS.
b)
On Form CMS-M751 and MC751, the amount that CMS has approved for Write-off/Closed,
including principal and interest, is recorded on line 6a (M751) and line 4d (MC751), bad debt. The CMS
written approval for Write-off/Closed is sufficient support for the subsequent write-off, including any
increase in the interest, as long as the principal remains the same.
c)
The MSP Contractor shall document in the remarks section of Form CMS-M751 and MC751 each
quarter the amounts (principal and interest) that were written off as closed as a result of implementation of
these instructions.
