Understanding the Process: Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Compliance
Date: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 @ 3:30pm EST
In December of 2007, the Medicare, Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Program (“SCHIP”) Extension Act of 2007 was signed into law. Section 111 of SCHIP defines specific requirements for liability, no-fault auto and workers’ compensation carriers and self-insurers designed to ensure compliance with the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) statute. Failure to comply with Section 111 carries stiff monetary penalties.
As Gallagher Bassett’s Reporting Agent and MSP Compliance Partner, Gould & Lamb’s “OneSource Solution” provides a comprehensive program to mitigate fines, penalties, and legal issues surrounding Mandatory Insurer Reporting (MIR) and MSP, while addressing both the reporting requirements of SCHIP and the compliance issues of the MSP.
While Gallagher Bassett and Gould & Lamb have been working over the last year and half to avoid the stiff monetary penalties SCHIP brings, many of Gallagher Bassett’s clients have begun to realize the way in which claims were settled in the past differs significantly when the injured party is a Medicare beneficiary. As part of any settlement with a Medicare beneficiary, one must make sure Medicare’s interests are protected from both a past (Conditional Payment/Lien) as well as future medical (MSA/CSA) standpoint. Ensuring compliance can often result in the increase in the settlement amount as well as delays in settlement of the claim due to various turnaround times with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Contractor (MSPRC).
Thus, Gould & Lamb invites you to attend the following webinar Understanding the Process: Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Compliance to discuss the various steps and turnaround times all parties must take to avoid exposure under the MSP as part of any settlement where Medicare’s interest must be protected. The 30 minute webinar followed by 30-60 minutes of Q&A will discuss the various aspects to settling a case involving MSP exposure, turnaround times to obtain CMS approval of a WCMSA and obtain Conditional Payment info from the MSPRC. Please register at your earliest convenience for the following webinar to learn more about this process.

Last year RHA launched a new and improved Executive Liability Program, offering members Directors & Officers, Fiduciary Liability, and Employment Practices Liability – including wage and hour defense costs, a coverage not always available to insureds.

Now that the 2012 presidential election is over and the votes are tallied, employers need to know what to expect in the next term of an Obama administration. Will there be more of the same from President Obama—with aggressive federal agency enforcement efforts at the NLRB, EEOC, OSHA, and DOL. What employment issues will Congress focus on during its next term? Can we expect any changes to the U.S. Supreme Court over the next four years?
In this briefing and webinar, we will discuss the implications that the presidential election will have on labor and employment issues affecting all employers.
