Overpayment Redeterminations and Recoupment

The 935 Regulations requires the Medicare Contractors to halt recoupment of an overpayment with the receipt of a valid appeal request. To assist WPS Medicare in complying with this regulation, we ask that you follow these steps:

  • Submit appeals of overpayments, including Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) overpayments using the WPS Medicare Redetermination Request FormAdobe Portable Document Format.
  • Check the box on the redetermination request form that indicates, "This is an appeal of an overpayment."
  • Overpayment redetermination requests should be sent to:
    WPS Medicare Part B
    Appeals Department
    PO Box 14144
    Madison, WI 53708-0144
  • Do NOT submit appeals of overpayments by fax or through CMS Secure Net Access Portal (C-SNAP). If an overpayment appeal request is sent through fax, C-SNAP, or other PO Box, an offset may continue as scheduled for the 41st day from the date of the overpayment letter.
