Description

Personal injury counsel must consider Medicare and Medicaid requirements when settling claims. The primary concerns involve Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) rights and the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act (MMSEA). While counsel for both sides must be wary of these obligations, plaintiffs’ counsel face the added obligation to ensure that their clients’ future healthcare benefits will be preserved through the settlement.

These obligations are complex and constantly changing. Learning how to spot these obligations and how to take steps during settlement to ensure compliance is essential to minimize the risk of liability and preserving the claimant’s future healthcare benefits in Medicare/Medicaid.

Listen as our panel experienced in both litigation and Medicare/Medicaid matters explains these obligations for counsel negotiating personal injury settlements and provides practical strategies for dealing with Medicare/Medicaid in these cases.
