Medicare Secondary Payer Manual (Pub. 100-05), Ch. 7 § 60.3
Identification of MSP Write-off/Closed Accounts
60.3 – Identification of MSP Write-off/Closed Accounts
(Rev. 12438; Issued: 01-04-24; Effective: 02-06-24; Implementation: 02-06-24)
Generally, MSP Contractors may recommend write-off for debts which are reported as part of their ending
AR balance. ARs that have been referred (but not transferred) to another location remain the responsibility
of the MSP Contractor.
NOTE: These instructions apply only to established ARs (i.e., MSP accounts receivable are not established
until a settlement, judgment or award has been reached and a demand letter is issued.). They shall not be
used to close MSP liability/no-fault/workers’ compensation leads where no settlement, judgment, award or
other payment exists and no recovery demand has been issued.
