Medicare Set Asides
Instructor: Jeremy T. Burton
With the passage of new Medicare law, the government now has imposed reporting and reimbursement requirements that will ensure Medicare can recover money paid for medical damages to plaintiffs who also are Medicare recipients. The new law imposes mandatory reporting requirements on insurers funding settlements, and imposes harsh penalties on insurers, defendants, plaintiffs and, potentially, attorneys that fail to comply. This 1.5-hour program covers the impact of the new Medicare law on your practice. It explains the new law, including who must report, how to report, what to report, when to report and why to report. It also provides resources to aid you in resolving cases with opposing counsel and the Centers for Medicare Services.
