Medicare to Issue Interim Conditional Payment Letters for Medicare Secondary Payer Mandatory Reporting Compliance

Effective October 1, 2009, the MSP Recovery Contractor [MSPRC] will issue information concerning interim conditional payment amounts automatically (that is, without receiving a request for such information) as soon as an interim conditional payment amount is available. If you have an outstanding request for a conditional payment letter (CPL) for a case established prior to October 1, 2009, the request will be processed in the order received. For all new cases, the Medicare beneficiary and any authorized individuals will receive the CPL within 65 days of the issuance of the “Rights and Responsibilities Letter.” 


A form "Cover Letter" will be provided to facilitate communications with MSPRC once a case has been established. "This cover sheet is for your use when mailing or faxing in correspondence to the MSPRC. Please retain a COPY of this cover sheet for any future correspondence. The information above will ensure accuracy when handling your case documentation."


The NEW Rights and Responsibilities Brochure is now available on line.


The NEW "Proof of Representation Letter" and "Consent to Release" are also available on line.
