Medicare Parts A and B

Medicare is federal health insurance benefit program for people 65 years of age and older, for those under age 65 who have certain disabilities, and those who are disabled and have received SSDI benefits for at least 24 months. Medicare is often the initial payer of medical expenses for personal injury and mass tort claimants. What distinguishes Medicare from other health care insurers are the federal regulations allowing Medicare recovery rights superior to any other interest on a settlement. Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act (MMSEA) took effect in 2010 changing resolution obligations, including a settlement reporting requirement on Defendants. TNSSG should be listed as an authorized agent on any such report so as to avoid disruptions and slowdowns in your case.

TNSSG will work on behalf of the claimant to verify whether each claimant is a recipient of federal Medicare (Parts A and B) benefits. If no healthcare lien exists, you will be notified that you are cleared. If the claimant is receiving benefits, TNSSG will audit each reimbursement claim to determine accuracy and remove items unrelated to the injury. The agreed upon resolution methodology will then be applied to satisfy all obligations. If applicable, TNSSG may apply for a compromise, waiver, or appeal to secure the best possible recovery for the claimant.
