Medicare Secondary
cconter:
Hello, After 21 years with the same doctor, we have our FIRST patient with secondary coverage thru Medicare. I'm a little confused about CMS1500 completion. Specifically 11(d). Info I found online says an answer is "optional". I find this hard to believe. Anyone have any experience? Thanks!
Yesica:
We have patients that have Medicare as secondaries and you do need to add in the primary insurance or else they will deny claim.
DMK:
Treat Medicare as you would any other secondary. I don't know your specialty but be sure to use the appropriate Medicare modifiers and diagnosis systems AS IF you were billing Medicare as primary.
Michele:
When we file claims with Medicare secondary, we do indicate other insurance by checking box 11d.
