Overpayment Letter Additional Information
August 29, 2017In the event an Intent to Refer (ITR) letter is sent, you have the right to inspect and copy all records pertaining to your debt. In order to present evidence or review the CMS records, you must submit a written request. Your request must be received within 60 calendar days from the ITR letter date. In response to a timely request for access to CMS records, you will be notified of the location and time when you can inspect and copy records related to this debt. Interest will continue to accrue during any review period. Therefore, while review is pending, you will be liable for interest and related late payment charge on amounts not paid by the due date identifiable above. The Treasury Offset Program automatically refers debts to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for offset. Your Federal income tax refund is subject to offset under this program. If you have filed a bankruptcy petition or are involved in a bankruptcy proceeding, Medicare financial obligations will be resolved in accordance with the applicable bankruptcy process. Accordingly, it is requested that you immediately notify Palmetto about this bankruptcy so that they may coordinate with both CMS and the Department of Justice so as to assure that they handle your situation properly. If possible, when notifying Palmetto about the bankruptcy please include the name the bankruptcy is filed under and the district where the bankruptcy is filed.
