The Case Information page provides you with the ability to review case information and to perform various actions on a case. The case ID shown will either be the Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center "BCRC Case ID" (BCRC insurer cases and all beneficiary cases) or the Commercial Repayment Center "CRC Recovery ID" (CRC insurer cases).
The following information will be displayed (as applicable) on this page for the selected case.
Note: Where noted, the information on this page is shown in real time each time the page is loaded. If you have access to the Open Debt Report, you may notice its information can differ from what is shown here. That is because it is refreshed nightly rather than in real time.
When the following message appears - "Some data fields are temporarily unavailable. Please try back later." - the data could not be retrieved in real time, but some normally real-time fields may show recent data instead.

This tab displays only when a waiver, redetermination, or a compromise has been submitted for a case. The tab label that displays is dependent upon the type of case you are viewing. Since waiver and compromise submissions are not applicable to a CRC case, the tab label will display "Redetermination/Appeal" when viewing this case type. If you are viewing a BCRC case, the tab label displays as "Waiver/Redetermination/Appeal/Compromise." When viewing a case, all information for each submitted waiver and compromise (either submitted in the mail or received on the portal) are displayed; however, only information for the first redetermination submission received is displayed.

Notes:
The View/Request Authorizations, Request an update to the conditional payment amount, and Request a mailed copy of the conditional payment letter actions cannot be selected for a BCRC or CRC NGHP ORM case related to a deleted Section 111 lead. Contact the BCRC or CRC for additional information.
None of the case actions can be selected for a case when the Fixed Percentage Option has been elected.
The Request an electronic conditional payment letter with Current Conditional Payment Amount, Request a mailed copy of the conditional payment letter, and Initiate Demand Letter actions cannot be selected for a CRC NGHP case that has an Insurer debtor with a hold. Contact the CRC for additional information.
The case debtor (beneficiary or insurer) can perform all the available actions on a case without authorization. Authorization applies only to users working on behalf of the case debtor.
The Submit Case Documentation button can't be selected for CRC cases that were referred to Treasury.
View / Request Authorizations
Who Can Access?
Available to all users.
Other Requirements?
This action is not available for a BCRC or CRC NGHP case related to a deleted Section 111 lead.
This option allows a user to view previously submitted
authorization(s) and/or submit new authorizations (Types: Beneficiary POR,
Beneficiary CTR, or Recovery Agent Authorization) for a case associated with an account. Please see the
following help pages for more information regarding these
authorizations: What is Proof of
Representation?, What is Consent to Release?
and What is Recovery Agent Authorization?
It is recommended that you upload and submit the proper
authorization on the MSPRP as soon as CMS is made aware of the case. CMS
cannot communicate with the beneficiary's or insurer's representative
until the status of the submitted authorization is verified.
No authorization is required for the debtor associated to a case.
Users who are logged in to the MSPRP may request a new authorization for themselves or for another party. When requesting a new authorization, you must select an authorization type along with start and end dates for the authorization; respond to the question related to who the authorization is being submitted for; upload required documentation that supports your request; and complete an attestation. (Note: Authorization for another party does not make them an account designee. However, the party can perform actions on the case, receive correspondence, call customer service, etc.)
Recovery Agents who are associated to an insurer-debtor case as the insurer's S111 Recovery Agent may submit a Recovery Agent authorization. An S111 Recovery Agent with an active Recovery Agent authorization in verified status has authority on the insurer-debtor case pre- and post-demand, even if the agent was removed or replaced on the insurer's S111 TIN Reference File.
If you are associated to the insurer-debtor pre-demand case as the insurer's S111 Recovery Agent and you submit authorization documentation on an Insurer-debtor case, the Authorization Type on the Authorization Documentation page will be pre selected as Recovery Agent Authorization and you will be prevented from changing this. The Beneficiary POR and Beneficiary CTR buttons will not be shown.
The Conditional Payment Letter will not be automatically sent out after an authorization is submitted. You must select the Request a copy of the conditional payment letter to have the system generate the Conditional Payment Letter.
Request an update to the conditional payment amount
Who Can Access?
- BCRC and CRC Cases: Available to all users - no authorization required.
Other Requirements?
This action can only be performed when the Case Status on the Case Information page is Open and the case is not in bankruptcy proceedings.
This action is not available for a BCRC or CRC NGHP case related to a deleted Section 111 lead.
This option allows a user to request CMS to re-calculate the
current conditional payment amount (see Notes).
The conditional payment amount is an amount paid by CMS for services on
behalf of a Medicare beneficiary when there is evidence that another
payer may be responsible. These payments are referred to as conditional
payments because the money must be repaid to CMS when a settlement,
judgment, award, or other payment is secured. The total of these
payments is the Conditional Payment Amount.
The conditional payment amount is an interim amount. CMS may continue to
make conditional payments for items and/or services related to the case
while the case is pending. When this action is selected, all medical
claims related to the case that may have been paid by CMS subsequent to
the last time the conditional payment amount was calculated will be
retrieved and included in the current conditional payment amount.
Notes:
When this action is selected and the Current Conditional Payment Amount displays the amount and the date it was last updated, the MSPRP will not automatically generate a conditional payment letter. If you require a hardcopy letter with the updated conditional payment information, select the Request a copy of the conditional payment letter action on the Case Information page.
For all cases, claims are retrieved daily. The MSPRP displays claims information for your case on the Case Information page. The current conditional payment amount is displayed in the Current Conditional Payment Amount field.
Request an Electronic Copy of the Conditional Payment Letter with Current Conditional Payment Amount
Who Can Access?
- BCRC Beneficiary-Debtor Cases: Beneficiaries and their authorized representatives who have an existing verified POR on the MSPRP and who have logged in to the MSPRP using multi-factor authentication.
- BCRC or CRC Insurer-Debtor Cases: Insurers, recovery agents on the TIN reference file, and insurer representatives with a verified recovery agent authorization who have logged in to the MSPRP using multi-factor authentication. Beneficiaries and their authorized representatives who have an existing verified POR on the MSPRP and who have logged in to the MSPRP using multi-factor authentication also have access.
Other Requirements?
This action can only be performed when a case meets the following criteria:
- The Case Status on the Case Information page is Open,
- A Conditional Payment Notice (CPN) or demand:
- Has not been issued previously or is not pending, or
- Was previously issued in error, and
- Automated processing and initial claims retrieval are complete for the case,
- No claims on the Claims Listing page are in dispute,
- The total count of Part-A claims and Part-B claim lines actively associated to the case is less than or equal to 1,500,
- The beneficiary has not accepted the self-calculated conditional payment option or entered into a Fixed Percentage Agreement.
This option allows beneficiaries and other authorized users who have logged into the MSPRP using multi-factor authentication to submit a request for an electronic Conditional Payment Letter (eCPL), which includes the associated case and claims information, in PDF format. Once displayed, there are options to save or print the letter.
When requested, the eCPL always contains current conditional payment and claims information. However, if the Current Conditional Payment Amount is equal to zero ($0.00) and the case is not in the Final Conditional Payment process (that is, the Final Conditional Payment Status is not Active, Pending NOS, or Complete) (BCRC cases only), an Electronic No Claims Paid by Medicare letter is generated. A Payment Summary Form is not displayed with this letter.
The MSPRP does not save previously generated electronic payment letters that you
can later access or print. Additionally, the electronic letter will
not be mailed to other authorized representatives associated to the
case.
Note: When this action is selected, the MSPRP will not
automatically update the Current Conditional Payment Amount. To obtain
an updated Conditional Payment Letter that reflects an updated
Conditional Payment Amount, click the Request an update to the
conditional payment amount action first and then select Request
an electronic conditional payment letter with Current Conditional
Payment Amount once the amount has been updated.
If this action is selected for a BCRC case in the Final Conditional Payment process, the electronic version of the traditional conditional payment letter will not be generated. Instead:
- If this action is selected for a case where the Final Conditional Payment Status is set to Active, the electronic version of the Notice of Anticipated Settlement Letter and Payment Summary Form will be generated and displayed.
- If this action is selected for a case where the Final Conditional Payment Status is set to Pending NOS or Complete, the electronic version of the Final Conditional Payment Letter and date and time-stamped Payment Summary Form will be generated and displayed. The total conditional payments included on this form will constitute the final conditional payment amount if settlement is reached within 3 business days of the "Final CP Amount Requested Date" that is displayed on this Payment Summary Form.
Request a (mailed) copy of the conditional payment letter
Who Can Access?
- BCRC Cases: No authorization required. Letter goes to the beneficiary and authorized parties on the case. Option is not available for a case in the Final Conditional Payment Process if the Final Conditional Payment Status is set to Pending NOS or Complete.
- CRC Cases: No authorization required.
Other Requirements?
- The Case Status on the Case Information page is Open.
- Case has completed the initial claims retrieval and automation process.
- Current Conditional Payment Amount must be greater than or equal to zero ($0.00).
- Not available if a CPN or demand has been sent or is pending on the case (unless the CPN or demand was previously issued in error).
- No claims are in dispute (i.e., no claims have a faded checkmark in the Dispute checkbox on the Claims Listing page).
- The case is not in bankruptcy proceedings.
- Not available for a BCRC or CRC NGHP case related to a deleted Section 111 lead.
This option allows a user to request a mailed copy of the Conditional Payment Letter for either a BCRC or CRC case. The letter that is generated is a new letter, not a copy of the last conditional payment letter that was sent. It will include the current conditional payment amount that is reflected in the Current Conditional Payment Amount field. It will also include a Payment Summary Form that lists each claim that is included in the Current Conditional Payment Amount.
If the overpayment or Current Conditional Payment Amount is equal to zero ($0.00), and the case is not in the Final Conditional Payment process (that is, Status is not Active, Pending NOS, or Complete), a No Claims Paid by Medicare letter is generated.
If this action is selected for a BCRC case in the Final Conditional Payment process where the Final Conditional Payment Status is set to Active, a mailed copy of the Notice of Anticipated Settlement Letter and Payment Summary Form will be created.
The date of the new letter will be the date the letter was requested plus five business
days. Please see the following help page for more information: Request a copy of the conditional payment
letter.
Note: When this action is selected, the MSPRP will not automatically update the Current Conditional Payment Amount. To obtain an updated Conditional Payment Letter that reflects an updated Conditional Payment Amount, select the Request an update to the conditional payment amount action first. The claims information for your case on the Case Information page will display the conditional payment amount as of the previous day. Once you verify this amount, select the Request a copy of the conditional payment letter.
The MSPRP will create and send the Conditional Payment Letter to each authorized individual/entity (i.e., the beneficiary, the insurer if the insurer is the debtor, and each individual/entity with a verified Beneficiary POR or Beneficiary CTR on file for the case).
Begin Final Conditional Payment Process and Provide 120 Days' Notice of Anticipated Settlement
This option allows users to notify the BCRC that a specific case is approaching settlement and request that the case be a part of the Final Conditional Payment process. Once this process begins, users are required to:

Request an Electronic Dispute Denial for Final Conditional Payment Case Letter with Current Conditional Payment Amount
This option is for a Final Conditional Payment Case in an Active Final CP Case Status where at least one submitted dispute was denied after the Final Conditional Payment process was initiated. It allows users to request an electronic Dispute Denial for Final Conditional Payment Case Letter that displays the current Conditional Payment Amount.
This letter, along with the Payment Summary Form, will be created and displayed in separate browser windows. The electronic Dispute Denial for Final Conditional Payment Case Letter and the Payment Summary Form will both display in .PDF format.
