Here's the story;
1) Medicare paid primary for medical services and the secondary insurer paid it's portion as well.
2) Medicare subsequently discovered that the claim was fraudulent and recovered it's payment from the provider.
3) The secondary payer is claiming that they should be reimbursed as well since the primary payer has essentially not been paid, therefore there should have been no secondary payment.
Is there a statute or regulation allowing this?
