CMS will be hosting a WCMSA Reporting Webinar. The webinar intends to review the WCMSA reporting process that was implemented in April 2025, discuss some of the issues encountered from CMS’s perspective, and review WCMSA reporting best practices. As parties impacted by the WCMSA reporting, we also welcome anyone else involved in the submission and administration of WCMSAs, including attorneys and Medicare beneficiaries, to join. Please bear in mind that this Webinar is intended to broadly address the WCMSA reporting process, and questions regarding specific cases are not appropriate for this setting.

In advance of the webinar, participants are encouraged to email general questions related to Section 111 WCMSA reporting to the resource mailbox at PL110-173SEC111-comments@cms.hhs.gov. Requests for an accessible format of the presentation should also be sent to this resource mailbox.
