MSP Premium Restoration - Discovery Health Partners

MSP Validation and Premium Restoration solution
Increase revenue from MSP premiums
Restore underpaid MSP premiums fast
Medicare Advantage (MA) plans frequently receive incorrect primacy information from Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding members with other coverage. Within months, this can add up to
millions of dollars in underpaid Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) premiums. It’s incumbent on MA plans to
detect and correct these inaccuracies so they can restore correct premiums today and in the future.
We can help. With the MSP Validation and Premium Restoration solution from Discovery Health Partners,
we work on your behalf to quickly and accurately validate MSP records, correct inaccurate records, and
restore underpaid premium dollars. We have designed best practices and tools that enable our team of
MSP experts to:

How it works
1. Identification and prioritization: We will load your MSP and
eligibility files into our Discovery Payment Integrity Platform, which
uses data matching logic to quickly and accurately identify records
that require validation. We compare current data files and/or
outstanding MSP records to find those that indicate potential reporting
or primacy discrepancies which may financially impact your premiums.
2. Validation: We validate the files and return them back to you and
update any necessary systems, such as your eligibility system, as
needed. Our platform includes a variety of functions and tools that
improve the efficiency and success of MSP validation and ultimately
lead to faster restorations.
3. CMS updates: We’ll submit ECRS transactions on your behalf to
correct invalid records for premium adjustment, and we’ll manage
error rate tracking and resolution.
