Reimbursement Issues with Medicare / Medicaid: A Free Article from Clifford Law Offices, Personal Injury Attorneys in Chicago
The Chicago law office, Clifford Law Offices, is posting legal articles on their website (http://www.cliffordlaw.com) in an effort to educate the public about legal matters such as personal injury. An introduction is provided, with a link to the full article.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 28, 2009 -- A new law is slated to take effect July 1 that impacts claims involving Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (MMSEA). While Medicare has the right to reimbursement of money it paid for medical care rendered to injury victims since 1980, the MMSEA will require insurance companies to register on behalf of a Medicare claimant in an injury case. The aim is to insure that Medicare is compensated and parties that fail to repay will be subject to a $100 per day penalty.
Robert Clifford, nationally renowned personal injury attorney based out of Chicago, wrote about potential solutions to the anticipated issues arising from the new MMSEA requirements in a piece originally published in Chicago Lawyer entitled, 'Reimbursement Issues.' In the article, Clifford advocates for a course of action that is guided by protecting the client's due process that would otherwise be violated if an unusual length of time were to pass before settlement money was distributed to victims. Clifford goes on to describe a Medicare compliance process instituted by plaintiff's firms that would verify, negotiate, and resolve Medicare's reimbursement claims.
