CMS Announces Consideration for Expansion of Medicare Set-Aside Arrangements

Posted October 31, 2017

---

CMS has announced that it will continue to consider expanding its voluntary MSA review process to include both liability and no-fault MSAs.  CMS has also stated that it will work closely with interested parties to determine the best way to implement the expansion of voluntary MSA reviews. It was reported last month that a new Workers’ Compensation Review Contractor (WCRC) was awarded to Capital Bridge, LLC. The WCRC is responsible for reviewing Medicare Set-Asides (MSAs) submitted to CMS through its voluntary review. This new alert can be found here.
