Program Summary

This program will discuss techniques for both calculating and, when possible, reducing workers compensation Medicare set aside allocation (WCMSAs). These techniques will include requesting treatment statements from physicians, obtaining rated ages, and requesting certification of no treatment statements from the treating provider. In addition, we will cover the latest from CMS regarding “evidence based” MSA allocations and obtaining an amended review of previously submitted WCMSA proposals. Finally, this program will include a discussion of the final rule regarding Section 111 penalties passed by CMS in October 2023. All workers’ compensation attorneys will benefit from this program.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
