What is the Medicare Cross-over Option?

Medicare Cross-over is designed to eliminate some of the paperwork involved in filing medical claims. Some plans have an agreement with Medicare to crossover claims for any services that Medicare processed as primary. Medicare will automatically forward your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) to those plans for services you receive throughout the United States. Claim forwarding is automatic for each person covered under Medicare when a plan participates in Medicare Cross-over. You do not need to complete a form or contact a plan to take advantage of crossover. Please contact your health plan or your Medicare insurance agent for more information.
