MA18: Alert: claim crossed over to supplemental insurer

Medicare automatically forwarded this claim to the patient's supplemental insurer — no separate secondary submission needed.

What to do about it

Don't rebill the secondary (you'll generate N522 duplicates). Post the Medicare payment and await the supplemental remit; follow up only if nothing arrives in ~30 days.
