Repayment of Accelerated and Advance Payments for Part B Providers Begins July 27
Did you know that repayment period for the relief funds advanced payment begins 120 days after a provider received the payment?
For the first 120 days, claims should be submitted as normal. Claims will be processed by National Government Services and payments that were transmitted to the provider. However, after the 120-day grace period, payment for individual claims will no longer be made. Instead, they’ll be retained by NGS to begin repaying the amounts advanced.
The AAP recoupment process at this time has not changed and is expected to begin on, or about, 7/27/2020, which represents 121 days from the date AAP payments were first issued and will continue for 90 days. After those 90 days a demand letter will be sent for any remaining balance. The recoupment date is unique to each provider and is calculated based on the date the AAP was issued.
If a provider cannot pay the balance by the end of the 90 day repayment period they may request an ERS once the demand letter is issued. Since the ERS would then occur beyond the repayment period, interest would be applied at that point.
