Medicare Overpayments/Underpayments Interest Rates Rise
Providers and suppliers of healthcare supplies and services to Medicare beneficiaries will pay contractors more in interest for unrecouped overpayments and delinquent underpayments in the second quarter, according to an AAPC report.
The Treasury Department recently notified HHS that the private consumer rate has changed. The quarterly update to the interest rate for Medicare overpayments and underpayments is 10.875 percent, effective April 18.
This interest rate applies to incorrectly paid Medicare Parts A and B claims.
