For an uninsured enrollee, who must pay medical insurance premiums by direct remittance,
use a Third Party Premium Billing Request Form CMS-2384, to establish a mailing address
for notices and premium billing statements sent by SSA and CMS, see HI
01005.810.

The term "third party" in this instance is someone other than the claimant but not
a State or formal group payee, see HI 01001.225.

A premium payer is not the same as a representative payee, therefore, do not use representative
payee procedures in these instances.
CAUTION: SSA cannot appoint a premium payer employed by a health care facility. This includes
hospital, medical institution, renal facility, social worker at a health care unit,
etc. as detailed in HI 01001.240.
