This is not quite coding, but maybe someone can help.
Medicare paid first, and there is coinsurance identified. The secondary payer is a commercial MC Supp plan, and they are applying a copay against the coinsurance.
It was my understanding that Medicare Supp paid all coinsurance after Medicare pays, but I could be wrong.
Any feedback/suggestions on how to get to the bottom of this? I don't want to recommend billing a Medicare patient unless I'm sure.
