Liability Medicare Set-Aside Arrangement

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a memorandum dated September 29, 2011 which opts out a settlement from a Liability Medicare Set-Aside Arrangement when the Medicare beneficiary’s treating physician certifies in writing that treatment for the alleged injury related to the liability insurance has been completed as of the date of the “settlement” and that future medical items and/or services for that injury will not be required.   To read more, see http://www.cms.gov/COBGeneralInformation/Downloads/FutureMedicals.pdf
