Line 2b is not applicable to carriers or to MSP.
The intermediary enters the number and amount of Periodic Interim Payment (PIP)
accrued receivables, fiscal year-to-date on this line. The only receivables a FI will accrue
are those that result from comparing PIP payments to claims submitted. For each
quarterly reporting period, a new accrual is established and the prior quarter's accrual
must be reversed or zeroed out. Both the establishment and reversal of the PIP accrual
must be reflected in this line, except for the reversal of the September's quarterly accrual,
which would be reflected in Line 5a, Adjusted Amounts, Internal Adjustments (see
Exhibit 13, Periodic Interim Payments (PIP) Protocol for Estimating
Payables/Receivables for the Form CMS-750A/B, Statement of Financial Position).
