If the BCRC determines that the other insurance is primary to Medicare, they will create an MSP occurrence and post it to Medicare’s records. If the MSP occurrence is related to an NGHP, the BCRC uses that information as well as information from CMS’ systems to identify and recover Medicare payments that should have been paid by another entity as primary payer. Once the case has been reported, the BCRC will collect information from multiple sources to research the MSP situation, as appropriate (e.g., information is collected from claims processors, Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act (MMSEA Section) 111 Mandatory Insurer Reporting submissions, and worker’s compensation entities).

The BCRC is responsible for ensuring that Medicare gets repaid for any conditional payments it makes. When an accident/illness/injury occurs, you must notify the Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center (BCRC). Medicare does not pay for items or services to the extent that payment has been, or may reasonably be expected to be, made through a liability insurer (including a self-insured entity), no-fault insurer or workers' compensation entity (Non-Group Health Plan (NGHP).
