Re: Medicare Conditional Payment Letter
Dear [Recipient Name],
This letter is to inform you that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has identified a potential Medicare secondary payer (MSP) liability associated with your claim. As such, payment of any remaining balance due on your claim must be made in accordance with the MSP provisions of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act.
In order to ensure that all applicable MSP obligations are met, CMS requires that you submit a conditional payment letter prior to receiving payment on your claim. This letter must include all necessary information regarding any potential MSP liabilities and must be submitted within 30 days of receipt of this notice.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact our office at [Phone Number]. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
