Summary
The term MACSIS COB (Coordination of Benefits) relates to clinical billing in the State of Ohio where both Medicare and other insurance (or other payers) is involved. MACSIS is the the payer of last resort, so before it can be billed to, all other means of payment must first be tried.
After insurance/other payer benefits have been exhausted (or have been deemed non-cooperative), then MACSIS can be billed. However, additional information must be sent to MACSIS in the clinical billing to indicate the presence of another payer, and as well to indicate the status of that payer (i.e., benefits exahaused, non-cooperative, etc...)
Technical Information
When billing MACSIS via the HIPAA EDI 837 format using COB, the following loops must be added:
