Important information if you have Medicare or Medicaid:
New Medicare reporting guidelines require attorneys, insurers and plaintiffs to report any personal injury settlement or judgment to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in cases where Medicare has made payments or could make future payments for care related to the injury alleged in the claim. Failure to do so could result not only in CMS placing a lien on the award for Medicare reimbursement, but also fines of up to $1,000 per day. More importantly, failure to follow this reporting requirement could void the injured person’s Medicare coverage. Since most people on Medicare are dependent on this coverage, the harsh effect of the coverage being voided is clear.
The new regulations require mandatory consideration of Medicare’s interests when a Medicare beneficiary (or someone likely to be a Medicare beneficiary within 30 months) settles their car accident case for an amount over certain thresholds. These reporting guidelines apply even if you don’t hire a lawyer.
So what does this mean for you? If you are covered by Medicare and you are involved in a car accident, you are at risk of losing your future Medicare coverage if you do not get proper legal advice. Therefore, it is crucial that you hire a lawyer to help you with your claim.
