10:00 AM - 11:30 AM	Navigating the Common Working File for Medicare Secondary Payer Information Did you know that, in accordance with the Medicare provider agreement, all Medicare providers are required to identify payers that are primary to Medicare for the Medicare beneficiaries to whom they provide services? When making decisions as to whether or not there are any payers primary to Medicare, providers are required to compare the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) information collected from the beneficiary during the MSP screening process to the MSP information available in the Common Working File (CWF). In this session, we will review how providers can use the Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) to access and view any available MSP files in the CWF. We will also highlight what each field/data represents within the MSP file(s). In addition, we will provide the contact information for the entities responsible for establishing and/or updating the MSP files in the CWF.	Webinar
