Guidance on how to Extract Certain Medicare Part B Costs From RDS Payment Requests
An overpayment occurs when the sum of all interim payments received for an application exceeds the sum of the Reconciliation payment request.
Doubling costs occurs when a Plan Sponsor is reporting for the same months after the first payment request has been completed.
The most common reason for the overstating Gross Retiree Costs error is including costs that are not covered by Medicare Part D, therefore making them ineligible for RDS subsidy during interim payments.
The reduction in retirees error results from a Plan Sponsor failing to process and send in retiree updates during the plan year.
Underestimating Cost Adjustments during interim payments occurs when a Plan Sponsor does not make changes to their Cost Adjustment methodology from one plan year to the next when the Cost Adjustment percentage has increased.
