CMS Pub. 100-08, ch. 12, § 12.12
Voluntary Refunds
This section applies to Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) and Comprehensive
Error Rate Testing (CERT) as indicated.
If the MAC receives a voluntary refund from a provider or supplier on a CERT sampled
claim, the MAC shall process the voluntary refund normally, as instructed in other
manuals. If the MAC processes the voluntary refund of a CERT sampled claim after
receiving the transaction file for the claim in question, the MAC shall complete the
feedback file as though the voluntary refund had not been received.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
