Post-Settlement Administration is critical:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has adopted specific requirements regarding the administration of Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) Accounts. These requirements include proper bank account establishment, accurate reporting of Medicare-allowable medical expenses, appropriate provider disbursements, and submission to CMS of the necessary reporting on account activity. These requirements are complex and are applicable whether the account is administered by a professional or self administrated.
It is critical that the account be properly used, documented and administered. Failure to follow the CMS requirements can jeopardize future Medicare benefits and create liability for industry professionals involved in the claim resolution process.

Additionally, our professional support services are available for 1 year following account activation through our toll-free help line.

Medical Custodial Account (MCA) Administration
A MCA can be used in a variety of ways to extend and preserve all or part of medical settlement dollars. Often used in conjunction with a MSA account, professional administration can provide access to services post-settlement that would otherwise not be available on a discounted basis. These services can include case management, care coordination, discount medical equipment, and discount network and mail order pharmacy services.
