On December 9th, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) held a non-group health plan (NGHP) beneficiary recovery process webinar. As part of CMS s webinar
notice, the agency noted that the intended audience for this event was “attorneys who represent beneficiaries and other beneficiary representatives.”
In this sixty-minute session, CMS and its contractor, the Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center (BCRC), discussed several items related to NGHP beneficiary recovery, including the use of the Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Portal (MSPRP), authorizations, and demand calculation options. Overall, CMS did not announce any new policy changes and used the session to discuss their existing practices and procedures.
