On November 29, 2011 CMS announced the launch of its Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-Aside Web Portal that allows for the entry of WCMSA Allocation proposals online. The site allows those involved in the WCMSA process (Attorneys, Medicare Beneficiaries, Claimants, Insurance Carriers and WCMSA Vendors) to enter and track case information directly on the site. The ease of navigating the site is a blessing. The “How to…” tab is especially user friendly. Let’s all hope this process improves response time and allows the focus to shift on clarifying the rules surrounding Liability Medicare Set-Asides!
