Description: Late last year, Congress passed and President Bush signed into law the Medicare, Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Extension Act. The passage of this new law has become the focus of a spirited debate about what it means for the legal and insurance industries with regard to Medicare Set Asides and Liability cases. Join John McCulloch, national marketing director for EPS Settlements Group and Mike Wostoupal, vice president at AIG American General who will discuss in more detail this issue and highlight the points made in their article that was published in Andrews Litigation Reporter. During their discussion, questions that will be posed and answered will include:
- What is a Medicare set-aside (MSA)?
- Who is CMS?
- What types of cases are affected?
- Type of injuries
- Coverage type
- Exposure amounts/thresholds
- How does this new federal law and past laws affect me today?
- Should I address future Medicare expenses in a liability case?
- Do I have options when dealing with Medicare on liability cases?
- What if I encounter a case with both workers' compensation and liability components?
- Why should I structure MSAs?
- What does the future hold for MSAs?
- What members or subject-matter experts should I have on my team?
- How do I find a reputable structured settlement consultant?
