This Just In: MSPRC Announces $300 Threshold in Liability Cases

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

A new alert was posted on the MSPRC.info website on September 6, 2011.  The MSPRC has announced a $300 threshold in liability cases that qualify based on the type of incident and settlement distribution. 

From www.MSPRC.info:

Beneficiary Alert: $300 Threshold on Liability Settlements

Medicare has implemented a $300 threshold for certain Liability Insurance cases. If all of Medicare’s criteria are met, the MSPRC will not recover against the beneficiary’s settlement, judgment, award or other payment.

If you’re a beneficiary, what does this mean for you?

As of September 6, 2011, if you’ve received a lump sum settlement of $300 or less, and your case meets certain conditions, Medicare will not recover from that settlement. These conditions include:

  1. Your settlement is related to an alleged physical trauma-based incident, not an alleged exposure, ingestion, or implantation, and
  2. You do not have any additional settlements related to the same alleged incident.

Please note that this threshold specifically excludes settlements where an insurer is paying your medicals bills directly or on an ongoing basis. This threshold also does not apply if a demand letter was already issued for your case. We have posted a more detailed explanation in the Attorney and Insurer Toolkits.

For more information on the $300 MSPRC Threshold, Medicare Secondary Payer, or any lien resolution issue, feel free to contact Lien Settlement Solutions at info@lienss.com or by phone, (877)907-5436 extension 2.

Florida Bar Lien Resolution Outsourcing Proposed Rule Released

Monday, June 28th, 2010

There has been some concern and questions regarding the outsourcing of lien resolution and the ability to pass along those costs to the client.  There were also questions regarding cases where another lawyer handles a lien resolution issue on a reverse contingency and how fees could be charged.  The bar formed a committee to look at these issues after an ethics opinion request.  The committee has issued a new proposed rule (below) that would allow for a lawyer to outsource if it is disclosed in the initial fee contract.  The costs come out of the client’s recovery, not the lawyer’s contingent fee.  The new rule is not final until approved by the Florida Supreme Court and may be tweaked by the bar through its internal review process in between now and when the Supreme Court reviews it.  However, it provides guidance.

Our Project Resolution Program includes:
