Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center

The Benefits Coordination and Recovery Center (BCRC) is a division of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that is responsible for coordinating the benefits of Medicare beneficiaries who have other forms of insurance coverage, such as group health plans, workers' compensation, or liability insurance. The BCRC works to identify situations where Medicare is a secondary payer, meaning that Medicare may not be the primary insurance provider for certain healthcare services or expenses. In these cases, the BCRC coordinates benefits with the primary insurance provider and may recover Medicare payments that should have been covered by the primary insurer.

The BCRC is responsible for a range of activities related to benefits coordination and recovery, including:

• Identifying situations where Medicare is a secondary payer
• Collecting information about other insurance coverage for Medicare beneficiaries
• Communicating with other insurance providers to coordinate benefits and ensure appropriate payments
• Recovering payments from other insurance providers when appropriate

The BCRC plays an important role in ensuring that Medicare beneficiaries receive appropriate coverage and benefits for their healthcare services and that Medicare resources are used efficiently and effectively.
