H. MEDICARE SECONDARY PAYER
The Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) provisions apply to situations when Medicare is not the primary payer. If your company has employed 19 or fewer employees in the
current or preceding year, Medicare is almost always primary. If your company has employed 20 or more employees in the current or preceding year, Medicare is almost
always secondary. In the case where an employer has 19 or fewer employees and is part of a multi-employer group health plan (e.g. HealthPass) then Medicare is by
default the secondary payer to the group health plan (GHP).
Participating employers with HealthPass that certify they have 19 or fewer employees, and have enrolling employees age 65 or older, must file for the MSP Small Employer
Exception Certification. The exception means the employer is not held to the MSP rules governing multi-employer group health plans and Medicare will be the primary payer of
Medicare Part A claims for any employee that is a working-aged Medicare beneficiary.
For purposes of this calculation both full-time and part-time employees are counted toward the 20 employee threshold. Self-employed individuals participating in a GHP are not counted as employees for
purposes of determining if the 20 or more employee requirement is met. The 20 employee or more requirement is met if the employer employed 20 or more employees for each working day in each of 20
or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding year. Note that the 20 weeks do not have to be consecutive. An employer is considered to have 20 or more employees for each working day of a
particular week if the employer has at least 20 full and/or part-time employees on its employment rolls each working day of that week.
r My group size per Medicare standards:* _______
If your answer is 20 or more, no further action needs to be taken. If your answer is 19 or fewer and you have at least one enrolling employee age 65+, you must complete and sign the MSP Small Employer
Exception Certification ( ) and return it with this application.
