A. Non-MSP Accounts Receivables (A/R) –
• When the credit balance adjustments are entered in the FI’s claims processing system, they will
remain in the system until the amounts for these adjustments are recouped.
• These adjustments are normally recovered through the recoupment of future claims, and they are
included in remittance advices to providers. If the credit balance has not been recovered, the balance
remains outstanding in the FI’s financial reporting system and appears in the CMS-751 report.
NOTE: Refer to Pub. 100-06, chapter 4, §40
