Medicaid Is Still Paying When Another Insurer Should Pay First

One of the largest sources of preventable Medicaid spending occurs when active commercial coverage is not known at the time a claim is processed.

Coverage changes happen every day, but updates often do not appear in time through batch feeds or eligibility reviews.

As a result, Medicaid pays as primary when another insurer is responsible.

That means improper payments, avoidable losses, and fewer dollars available for beneficiary care.

Very close to yours, just sharper.

Recovery Happens Too Late to Protect Medicaid Dollars

Most Medicaid programs rely on post payment recovery to address improper payments.

By the time other coverage is identified, the claim has already been paid. Recovery rates are low, administrative effort is high, and the dollars are often never fully returned.

Even when funds are recovered later, those payments still count as improper under audit standards.

The issue is not care use. The issue is paying the wrong payer.

This lands harder and avoids overexplaining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how Syrtis Solutions protects your Medicaid plan and simplifies cost avoidance.

Can a claims analysis identify the potential savings opportunity?

Yes. Syrtis provides a free savings analysis and can validate results through a claims file evaluation.

How long does implementation take?

Program implementation can occur as quickly as 60 days and requires very little technical resources from our customer. Essentially just creating a new file output and secure file transfer process.

The implementation timeline is dependent only on the length of time needed to reach an agreement and set up the files transfer processes. ProTPL uses standard NCPDP Pharmacy and ANSI 12 eligability datasets.

Will ProTPL disrupt pharmacy workflows?

No. Claims continue to process normally with no added burden on providers or beneficiaries.

Who is ProTPL designed to help?

State Medicaid agencies, Medicaid managed care organizations, and payer of last resort programs.

What percentage of claims have other pharmacy coverage?

The opportunity varies by program. Syrtis helps identify this quickly using real time coverage data.

How does Syrtis Solutions support third party liability regulations?

All private or public healthcare plans, unless specifically excluded by Federal statute, must meet third party liability (TPL) legal obligations to pay claims before Medicaid, or other federally-sponsored healthcare programs.

ProTPL, a service of Syrtis Solutions, enforces TPL obligations to effectively cost avoid pharmacy claims in real-time when other coverage outside of Medicaid exists. In addition to cost-avoiding pharmacy claims, the program helps to identify, recover and cost-avoid medical claims.
