Medicare Set-Aside Agreements
Upon action of its Executive Committee, the National Council of Self-Insurers has contributed $5,000 toward the lobbying effort to achieve passage of the Medicare Secondary Payer and Workers’ Compensation Settlement Act of 2007. The bi-partisan Act was introduced in the House of Representatives in May 2007 and, if passed, will resolve the serious delays and confusion in the review of Workers’ Compensation, Medicare Set-Aside Settlements by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
In June 2006, the National Council gave $10,000 and in February 2007, $1,000 to achieve the passage of the 2006 version of the Medicare Secondary Payer and Workers’ Compensation Settlement Act. Since review procedures of the CMS remain impaired, federal legislation continues to be needed.
If you have any questions, please contact Larry Holt, Executive Director of the National Council of Self-Insurers.
