Abstract: Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) is essentially the same concept known in the private insurance industry as coordination of benefits and refers to those situations where Medicare does not have primary responsibility for paying the medical expenses of a Medicare beneficiary. Medicare Fiscal Intermediaries. Carriers, and now Part D plans, need information about primary payers in order to perform various tasks to detect and process MSP cases, and make recoveries.
