CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 1, § 10.1.9.6
Medicare Carrier or RRB-Named Carrier to Welfare Carrier
When a Medicare carrier or RRB-named carrier receives a query reply from CMS that
includes a disposition code 46 and a welfare administration carrier number, it transfers
the claim to the welfare carrier and notifies the beneficiary. Any pertinent information
received or developed is transferred with the claim.
This occurs only if there is a State welfare carrier and the individual is identified in the
beneficiary master record as a State buy-in enrollee for that State. For more information
on the definition of a welfare carrier, refer to Pub. 100-04, Chapter 1, section 10.1.7.
