Hey all. I'm having so much fun with my new workers' compensation blog, (floridaworkerscomp.blogspot.com) that I thought I would create a Medicare Secondary Payer blog.
First entry. I need your input. And lots of it.
Just for a moment, forget the status of the law and the statute and basically everything you know about the MSP.
For the following questions, it doesn't matter if it is comp or GL. Your response should be based on what you feel is the right thing to do regardless of the present state of the Medicare Secondary Payer statute.
Should Medicare pay for the post settlement medical care and treatment when the injured party has received funds for his or her future medical treatment? if yes, why?
Secondly, if the claimant is close to being or is a Medicare beneficiary should money be set aside for future Medicare Covered Medical needs? If not, why not?
Lastly, if you ran Medicare, would you want Medicare's interests protected, and if so, how?
