What if I want to self-administer my Medicare Set-Aside?
Injured parties have the option to self-administer their Medicare Set-Aside (MSA). While Medicare does not recommend this approach, it is possible for individuals to manage their own accounts.
Self-Administration Toolkit
For those choosing to self-administer, there is a 31-page Self Administration Toolkit available. It is essential for the injured party to become acquainted with this toolkit to effectively manage their MSA funds. Visit our self administration page to learn more and access the Self Administration Toolkit.
Importance of Legal Familiarity
Besides the toolkit, it’s crucial for the individual to understand the WCMSA Reference Guide and the Federal Medicare Secondary Payer Act (42 U.S.C. §1395 et seq), which are subject to periodic amendments.
Why Consider Professional Administration?
Many parties opt for professional administration to avoid potential pitfalls and to ensure compliance with Medicare guidelines. For further reading and detailed information about self-administration, you can explore additional resources in the WCMSA Reference Guide and other relevant documents.
For comprehensive guidance and the most up-to-date information, it is recommended to review the latest WCMSA Reference Guide and consult with professionals who can provide personalized advice based on current regulations.
