What is Beneficiary Consent to Release?
Title Line

You can submit a Beneficiary Consent to Release (CTR) authorization request to inform the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that the Medicare beneficiary has given another individual or entity the authority to receive claims and other information related to the injury and/or illness but does not give this individual the authority to represent the Medicare beneficiary and act on their behalf. An individual/entity with a Verified Beneficiary CTR will be able to receive copies of all mail sent related to the case (e.g., the Rights and Responsibilities letter, the Conditional Payment Letter, the Demand letter, etc.).
