The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) is seeking approval to
collect information from beneficiaries,
providers, physicians, or suppliers on
health insurance coverage that is
primary to Medicare. Collecting this
information allows CMS to identify
those Medicare beneficiaries who have
other group health insurance that would
pay before Medicare, safeguarding the
Medicare Trust Fund. The annual
savings from the Medicare Secondary
Payer (MSP) program for Parts A and B
are more than $4.5 billion per year.
With the impending implementation of
Medicare Part D under the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Modernization and
Improvement Act of 2003 (MMA), a new
approval is needed in order to include
prescription drug-related questions on
the already-approved MSP collections
and increase the savings to the Medicare
Trust Fund.

approval of this collection by July 15,
2005, with a 180-day approval period.
