MSP Voluntary Refunds

February 1, 2006

Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) voluntary refund checks submitted by providers to NHIC are included with all other checks received at NHIC. As such, research is required to identify those checks as MSP voluntary refunds. In order to improve the timeliness for application of the monies returned and provide improved service to the provider community, please use the following guidelines when sending MSP voluntary refunds to NHIC:

  • Include the words “MSP” on the refund checks.
  • Include the words “MSP” on the envelope containing the check.
