How to complete MSP paper claims?

If your office is still dropping secondary paper claims to Medicare you will want to make sure you are sending them complete documentation.

1. A CMS - 1500 claim form

2. A legible copy of the primary Explanation of Benefits (EOB). Do not highlight anything on the EOB and do not put the primary insurer paid amount in fiel 29 of the claim form.

  • EOB should indicate the billed amount

  • EOB should indicate the allowed amount

  • EOB should indicate the paid amount

  • EOB should indicate if you are in network or out of network with the primary insurance carrier

3. If the claim was denied by the primary insurer, the remark code explanation for the denial must be included with documentation. If these remark codes are on the last page of the EOB or on the back of the EOB you will need to submit this information on a seperate page.

Medicare OCR scanners do not copy the front and back of the EOB's so it's possible that you may need to submit 3 pages of documentation to Medicare.

For those of you tired of dropping secondary claims to paper I would recommend the following:

1. Contact your software vendor and ask them if they can submit claims electronically for secondary insurance carriers

and/or

2. Contact your clearinghouse and verify they can submit secondary claims electronically.

Anyone using CollaborateMD?

I would like to talk with anyone who has used or is currently using CollaborateMD medical billing software ? I am interested in learning more about the user features and the pro's and con's. I have thoroughly looked at the CollaborateMD website and it seems like it can cost less going through their per provider per service/inquiry pricing then the standard flat fee of $369 a month per provider from other web-based medical billing software vendors.

Curious what others think:
