The Impact of Senate Bill 2499 on Primary Payer Compliance with the MSP
Understanding the Requirements of Senate Bill 2499 and
How the New Legislation Will Affect Primary Payers & Claims Handling
Date: April 14, 2008
Time: 2:00pm EST
Location: Webinar
Facilitator: Mark Popolizio, Esquire
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.
Senate Bill 2499 makes significant changes to primary payer’s current obligations to protect Medicare’s interests regarding conditional payments. This webinar addresses the impact Senate Bill 2499 will have on workers’ compensation, liability (including self-insurance) and no-fault insurance plans and arrangements. The course will examine the key requirements and other main features of Senate Bill 2499 and how they all relate to primary payer compliance under the MSP. The course puts Senate Bill 2499 into perspective by also examining the current reimbursement and notice obligations of primary payers under the MSP.
The course will also outline practical considerations and approaches for primary payers to incorporate into their claims handling process to address their current obligations under the MSP, as well as in preparation of the forthcoming requirements under Senate Bill 2499.
