It is more important than ever to ensure Medicare’s future interests are protected within your settlements. Asure, Medivest’s Professional Administration service for MSA’s, is a proven tool for settling parties to remain compliant with Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) obligations.

What is a Medicare Set-Aside Account?

A Medicare Set-Aside Account (MSA) is the result from a workers’ compensation or personal injury claim. A portion of the settlement funds are ‘set aside’ in an account to pay claimants’ future medical treatment that is injury-related, and Medicare covered.

What is at Risk?

Managing a MSA is difficult. If the rules and regulations from the MSP statute for expenditures and reporting are not followed, you could:

• • Jeopardize your present and future Medicare benefits

  • Prompt an IRS levy against Social Security or disability benefits

  • Be required to reimburse Medicare or the MSA account
