Immediate recoupment request

The immediate recoupment process is for providers who have received an overpayment demand letter from Medicare. You may elect to have your overpayment(s) repaid through the immediate recoupment process and avoid paying by check or waiting for the standard recoupment that begins 41 days from the date of the initial demand letter.
