Medicare Secondary Payer Update

In this program, Christine Hummel, President and Founder of Hummel Consultation Services,  will discuss all facets of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (MSP) including reimbursement of conditional payment amounts; the recovery rights of Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) plans; future medical allocations to avoid shifting a burden of payment to Medicare; and Section 111 reporting. Further, we will discuss strategies to reduce the conditional payment amount where possible; how to determine when or if a future medical allocation is required; and the new Section 111 civil money penalties. This program is appropriate for all skill levels and will be beneficial to both plaintiff and defense counsel.

Learning Objectives:

1. Review Medicare's right to conditional payment reimbursement for Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D
2. Identify Medicare set-asides - what are they and when do you need one
3. Examine how the new Section 111 penalties will be assessed
