Upcoming Webinars on New Enhancements for MSA Electronic Attestations

As Ametros had reported on last month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to allow for electronic submission of Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set Aside (WCMSA) attestations. In anticipation of this, on October 4, 2019, CMS issued a notice announcing two upcoming webinars to highlight the new enhancements:

• The first webinar will be held on October 30, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, and will be for injured parties and their representatives; and
• The second will be held on November 6, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, and will be directed towards Professional Administrators.

Further details for these webinars are available in the “downloads” section of the WCMSA Arrangements section of the website.

Ametros commends CMS for moving towards electronic attestation as it will greatly assist in post-settlement MSA administration. We will be following this closely and will provide updates following the webinars.
