 In just 90 minutes, your presenter, an attorney who focuses his practice on Medicare compliance and workers' compensation, will cover:

• Conditional payments. Once a Responsible Reporting Entity (RRE) in a liability case determines that the claimant is a Medicare beneficiary, steps should be taken to determine as soon as possible whether Medicare will assert a conditional payment claim and, if so, the amount of such.
• Medicare Set Asides (MSAs). Medicare does not pay for an individual’s workers’ comp related medical services when the individual receives a workers’ comp settlement that includes funds for future medical expenses, so parties should set aside funds for all future medical services related to the workers’ comp injury or illness/disease that would otherwise be reimbursable by Medicare.
