MSP in Medical Billing
MSP stands for Medicare Secondary Payer, a rule that determines when Medicare is the secondary payer and another insurance policy is primary.
MSP in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, the MSP rules apply when a patient has multiple insurance plans, and Medicare does not pay first. The primary insurance is billed first, and Medicare may cover the remaining balance if certain conditions are met.
For example, a patient with both employer-sponsored health insurance and Medicare has their employer insurance billed first, with Medicare acting as the secondary payer.
