The Workers’ Compensation Institute (WCI) is a nonprofit educational organization that serves as a comprehensive resource to all workers’ compensation stakeholders. WCI sponsors the annual Workers’ Compensation Educational Conference and brings together workers’ compensation professionals from across the country. It is the nation’s largest work comp conference, and the programming, networking, exhibit hall, and entertainment cannot be matched.

Medivest has been a proud long-time sponsor of WCI, and multiple representatives will be attending as we return to our regular corner spot at Booth #818. The team in attendence will be available to discuss Medivest’s settlement services for workers’ compensation cases, such as Professional Administration, Medicare Set-Aside Reports, and all of Medivest’s settlement solutions. Stop by our booth for details on these services and more. Additional details regarding the conference, including a schedule of events, can be viewed here.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a revised Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-Aside Arrangement (WCMSA) Reference Guide (“Reference Guide”) Version 4.1 on August 1, 2024. This Reference Guide replaces Version 4.0 which was released on April 1, 2024. There are a few notable changes when comparing the two Reference Guides.   

Changes in Version 4.1 of this Guide Include the Following Changes

  • By CMS’ request, the guide has been updated with details about WCMSA coordination with other health insurers (Section 4.1.3).

This guide reflects information compiled from all WCMSA Regional Office (RO) Memoranda issued by CMS, from information provided on the CMS website, from information provided by the Workers Compensation Review Contractor (WCRC), and from the CMS WCMSA Operating Rules. The intent of this reference guide is to consolidate and supplant all historical memoranda in a single point of reference. Please discontinue the reference of prior documents.
