UB-04 – Medicare Crossover Claims October 20115
Medicare Crossover Claim Defined
– The term, “crossover claim” applies when a member has Medicare as the primary insurance, and:• The Medicare coverage is from traditional Medicare, not one of the Medicare
Replacement (or Medicare HMO) plans
• Medicare issued a payment of any amount, or the entire payment was applied to the deductible
– A claim is not a crossover claim when:• The member’s primary insurance is not traditional Medicare
• Medicare denied the entire claim
• It is a Medicare benefit exhaust claim

Why Claims Do Not Automatically Cross Over
Following are some of the reasons why claims fail to cross over from Medicare automatically:
–NPI one-to-one match cannot be accomplished
–The Medicare intermediary is not National Government Services (NGS) or is not an intermediary that has a partnership agreement with HP
–Ambulatory surgical center (ASC) claims billed to Medicare on a CMS-1500 claim form with the SG modifier
–Data errors on the crossover file
• Examples include incorrect Social Security number (SSN) or spelling of member name
UB-04 – Medicare Crossover Claims October 20117
Claim Filing Limit
– The standard filing limit for Medicaid claims is one year from the date of service
– Crossover claims are not subject to the one-year filing limit
• Crossover claims may be submitted and processed irrespective of the age of the claim
UB-04 – Medicare Crossover Claims October 20118
Claims Partially Paid by Medicare
When Medicare allows only some of the services on a nonsurgical outpatient claim:
– Only the Medicare-allowed services apply to crossover logic
• These services should be billed to Medicaid separately from the Medicare-denied services
• Providers should not send the Medicare Remittance Notice (MRN) to Medicaid when billing for services Medicare has paid
– Only the Medicare-allowed services are exempt from the one-year filing limit
– Services denied by Medicare are subject to the one-year filing limit
• These services should be billed separately to Medicaid with a copy of the MRN
