Obligation to Pay the Providers, Physicians, or Suppliers Late
Payment Interest
(Rev. 141, Issued: 09-12-08, Effective: 09-29-08, Implementation: 09-29-08)
Medicare has the obligation to pay providers, physicians and suppliers interest if the
overpayment determination is reversed at the first (redetermination) and second
(reconsideration) level of the administrative appeal process and the decisions are not
effectuated timely. At these levels of appeal, interest would continue to be payable by
Medicare if the underpayment is not paid within 30 days of the final determination
decision. See § 30.1 of Chapter 4.
