Course Description:
Medicare is often the initial payer of medical, hospital and other health-related expenses for personal injury plaintiffs. What distinguishes Medicare from other health care insurers are federal regulations that provide Medicare with subrogation and lien rights which are far superior to any other interest on a settlement or judgment proceeding. During this course, you will learn about the specific laws that give Medicare the right to recover your client's proceeds as well as how to identify Medicare as a lien holder and the potential impact and benefit of Medicare set-asides. The presenters also offer guidance on calculating procurement offsets, satisfying Medicare liens, and negotiating waivers and compromises. This course will provide practitioners with the best methods for handling Medicare-related expenses in their next big personal injury case.
