When a workers' compensation claim is settled, special consideration must be given to the issues presented by the Medicare Secondary Payer Statute. The first step in handling these issues is to determine whether Medicare requires approval of a workers' compensation settlement. This web site will guide you through that analysis. Simply answer a series of questions about the settlement. Each page of the process contains a question that can be answered either "Yes" or "No" with a click of the mouse. The right margin of each page contains a detailed explanation of the basis for the question and considerations you should make in answering the question. Finally, the bottom of the page displays the facts established based on your answers to the preceding questions. Click here to begin. |
