Secondary tool not concise
When submitting claims to a secondary payer that IS Medicare secondary payer, there needs to be an option in Medicare Insurance Type Code field to indicate this. None of the ones that populate now DO NOT indicate that we are submitting to Medicare as Secondary.
Also, in the adjustments fields, the amount due by the patient should not be listed there if the balance is being submitted to the secondary. Plus the adjustment reason states patient responsibility and should actually indicate what the balance is, i.e. deductible, not covered.
