Trading Partner/Supplemental Insurer Criteria Selections

Medicare contractors coordinate with the Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center (BCRC), Group Health Incorporated (GHI), to automatically cross over claims payment information for their policyholders.

An eligibility file furnished by the supplemental insurer is used to drive the process rather than information found on the claim. These eligibility files are matched, based on the Medicare ID, against Medicare's internal eligibility file. If a match occurs, the beneficiary's record is flagged indicating to which company we will cross claim payment information. Noridian then sends the file of claims to the BCRC who consolidates the claims for all contractors and forwards it on to the trading partner/supplemental insurer. If no match occurs, the claim is not flagged for crossover.

Each trading partner/supplemental insurer is given the opportunity to specify criteria related to the claims the insurer wants or does not want Medicare to crossover.

Trading partner/supplemental insurer can choose from below conditions to allow or refuse a claim crossover from Medicare.
