What is a Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) and do I need one?

A Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) is a portion of a personal injury settlement set aside in a dedicated account to pay for future injury-related medical expenses that Medicare would otherwise cover. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires MSA compliance when the claimant is Medicare-eligible. Failure to account for Medicare’s interest can result in denial of future Medicare benefits for injury-related care. Haug Barron Law Group coordinates with certified MSA vendors to obtain CMS approval and protect your long-term Medicare access.
