MEDICARE SET-ASIDES

Ritsema & Lyon help you settle cases and protect Medicare's interests in an effective and cost-efficient manner. Knowing when, and how, to settle a case and protect your interests while satisfying Medicare can be a demanding task. Because Medicare issues transcend state lines, Ritsema & Lyon can represent your interests in any state.

Ritsema & Lyon blended its cutting-edge knowledge and experience in workers' compensation defense and established MSP Solutions to help our clients contend with the growing number of Medicare issues.

MSP Solutions will help you by:

Determining which cases need to be evaluated for Medicare issues.
Evaluating each case by using the underlying facts and current workers' compensation law to minimize the amount required to fund any type of Medicare set-aside agreement.
Shaping each case to prepare for settlement and Medicare issues. This prevents the problem created when protecting Medicare's interest becomes an afterthought.
Negotiating with Medicare how much, if any, needs to be set aside to protect Medicare's interests.
Establishing the appropriate vehicle to manage medical funds which are set aside for future benefits covered by Medicare.
Providing training to assist our clients in determining when a case needs to be evaluated for Medicare issues and how to shape a case from the beginning to minimize Medicare funding at the time of settlement.
