Why are Medicare Set-Asides Arrangements necessary?
Medicare Secondary Payer laws are intended to prevent the shift of financial responsibility from primary payers to Medicare and therefore, place significant responsibility on all parties involved in the settlement of Workers’ Compensation cases. The recommended method to protect Medicare’s interests is a Medicare Set-Aside Agreement (MSA), which allocates a portion of the workers’ compensation settlement for future medical expenses.
