Medicare set-asides
Most workers' compensation claimants who settle the medical part of their claim with a Medicare Set-Aside account (MSA) get little more than hard-to-follow instructions from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). We help make managing an MSA far easier.
The problem
Confusion makes cases harder to settle
The CMS instructions are usually printed from its website or taken from the determination letter. The uncertainty causes anxiety for claimants and often makes cases harder to settle.
Annuity funding
Simplify, and lock in, funding
A structured settlement that pays into an MSA will ensure that funding minimums are always met, and will save money in the long term by purchasing an annuity to make those payments.
How we help
Professional MSA administration
- Discounted pricing from a network of medical and drug providers.
- Qualifying charges paid directly from the MSA account.
- Checking that each charge is Medicare-eligible and related to the injury.
- Preparing and filing the CMS report for the claimant.
When the MSA runs out
Medicare picks up from there
Whether the MSA is funded up front or over time with an annuity, once it is used up for the year, or for good, Medicare should pay the claimant's qualifying medical expenses.
