How to determine primary payer for Medicare?
The CMS Questionnaire should be used to determine the primary payer of the beneficiary’s claims. This questionnaire consists of six parts and lists questions to ask Medicare beneficiaries. For institutional providers, ask these questions during each inpatient or outpatient admission, with the exception of policies regarding Hospital Reference Lab Services, Recurring Outpatient Services, and Medicare+Choice Organization members. (Further information regarding these policies can be found in Chapter 3 of the MSP Online Manual.) Use this questionnaire as a guide to help identify other payers that may be primary to Medicare. Beginning with Part 1, ask the patient each question in sequence. Comply with all instructions that follow an answer. If the instructions direct you to go to another part, have the patient answer, in sequence, each question under the new part. Note: There may be situations where more than one insurer is primary to Medicare (e.g., Black Lung Program and Group Health Plan). Be sure to identify all possible insurers.
When do hospitals report Medicare Part A retirement?
When a beneficiary cannot recall his/her retirement date, but knows it occurred prior to his/her Medicare entitlement dates, as shown on his/her Medicare card, hospitals report his/her Medicare Part A entitlement date as the date of retirement. If the beneficiary is a dependent under his/her spouse's group health insurance and the spouse retired prior to the beneficiary's Medicare Part A entitlement date, hospitals report the beneficiary's Medicare entitlement date as his/her retirement date. If the beneficiary worked beyond his/her Medicare Part A entitlement date, had coverage under a group health plan during that time, and cannot recall his/her precise date of retirement but the hospital determines it has been at least five years since the beneficiary retired, the hospital enters the retirement date as five years retrospective to the date of admission. (Example: Hospitals report the retirement date as January 4, 1998, if the date of admission is January 4, 2003)

This conditional payment is subject to recovery by Medicare after a WC settlement has been reached. If WC denies a claim or a portion of a claim, the claim can be filed with Medicare for consideration of payment. 2 Treated for an illness or injury caused by an accident, and liability and/or no-fault insurance will cover the medical expenses as the primary payer. 3 Covered under their own employer’s or a spouse’s employer’s group health plan (GHP). 4 Disabled with coverage under a large group health plan (LGHP). 5 Afflicted with permanent kidney failure (End-Stage Renal Disease) and are within the 30-month coordination period.
