What crucial information does the MSP Questionnaire collect?

The MSP Questionnaire is designed to gather essential information about a patient’s other insurance coverage, specifically focusing on details related to employment and accidents that may be responsible for the patient's medical expenses. This information is crucial for determining whether Medicare or another payer should be the primary payer for medical services provided to the patient. By understanding the employment context, such as whether the injury was work-related, or if the patient has other forms of insurance due to their employment, healthcare providers can ensure proper billing and compliance with Medicare rules. This helps avoid any potential issues related to overbilling or incorrect claims processing, thereby streamlining the revenue cycle and maintaining accuracy in patient care documentation.
