Employers offering group health plans must comply with the MSP statute and regulations (the MSP laws). These laws establish Medicare as the secondary payer to group health plan coverage in certain instances of dual healthcare coverage. Additional information is also available on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) website for Medicare Secondary Payer.
