Claim recoupment/refund definition:
Payer Recoupment Request: A claim recoupment is a request by the provider or the health insurance payer, to recover funds involved in an overpayment. A payer may identify an overpayment due to unknown other health insurance. If the provider sends claims electronically and receives payment electronically, the provider can initiate an electronic recoupment that will offset a future payment by the payer and eliminate the need for the provider to send a refund check which requires manual intervention. If the provider is not transacting electronically, the provider will need to send a refund check.
Provider Recoupment Request: A claim payment recoupment may also be requested by a provider if the provider identifies an error in payment. With notification, the payer will recover the overpayment on a future payment to the provider.
