The Impact of Senate Bill 2499 on Primary Payer Compliance with the MSP Date: April 14, 2008 On December 29, 2007, President Bush signed into law Senate Bill 2499 which makes significant amendments to the Medicare Secondary Payer Statute (MSP) affecting the obligations of workers’ compensation, liability (including self-insurance), no-fault and group health insurance plans. Senate Bill 2499 places an affirmative obligation on all primary payers to (i) determine a claimant’s Medicare entitlement status and (ii) to place Medicare on notice of said entitlement. The new amendments impose strict penalties for non-compliance -- $1,0000.00 per day, per claim in addition to all other available penalties under the MSP.
