Pub 100-05 Medicare Secondary Payer: Manualizing Long-Standing Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Policy in Chapter 2 of the MSP Internet Only Manual (IOM)

Guidance that updates chapter 2 of the MSP IOM to reflect current MSP policy. The changes will assist in ensuring consistent and accurate application of MSP policy among providers, physicians, and other suppliers, current FFS contractors, and future Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs). No new policy is reflected in these updates. These updates take into consideration the anticipated usage in the MAC contracting environment, e.g., the IOM will reference contractors versus FIs or carriers.
