CMS Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center (formerly COBC) for questions about Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) records, which payer is primary, updating other-insurance information on the beneficiary's Medicare record, and NGHP recovery. Providers and MACs refer MSP record questions here; MACs cannot change the CWF MSP record. The Commercial Repayment Center (GHP recovery) uses the same toll-free line.
