Medicare Crossover

Medicare Cross-Over is the process by which Medicare automatically forwards medical claims to your secondary insurance for processing. In effect, a Medicare recipient has one stop shopping for submitting medical claims and there is no need for you to file twice! That is, Medicare pays first, then claims are submitted electronically to your insurance company. That is, Medicare pays first, then claims are submitted electronically to your insurance company. Contact Medicare or your secondary insurance to learn how to enroll in Medicare Crossover. There is no cost for enrolling. Since your secondary insurance will receive claims electronically from Medicare, the claims payment cycle should be shortened. You should receive reimbursement faster!

If you don't have a Medicare crossover, our office may charge the copayment and deductible directly to you. Doctors' offices are required to file claims only with Medicare.
