Upon taking a case that involves a Medicare beneficiary an attorney has automatic duties that arise under the Medicare Secondary Payer statute. Teddy Snyder teaches attorneys about protecting clients from Medicare liability. Ms. Snyder first introduces the concept of Medicare secondary payer liability and then discusses statutory & case law, penalties for noncompliance, Medicare set-aside accounts in workers compensation settlements, Medicare set-aside account administration, the CMS approval process, and settling workers compensation cases.
Cases discussed include Gory v. U.S. Food Service and U.S. v. Harris that held that the Government can recover from any entity that has received payment from a primary plan, including an attorney. Teddy Snyder is an attorney and Certified Structured Settlement Consultant in the Beverly Hills, California office of Ringler Associates.
About Teddy Snyder:
I help people settle cases by stretching the money the defense has to offer to meet Plaintiff's needs through the use of a structured settlement; special expertise in Medicare Secondary Payer compliance (MMSEA) and Medicare Set-Asides at time of settlement. Medicare Set-Asides cost less with a structured settlement. Structured settlements create guaranteed tax-free (physical injury claims) or tax-deferred (all other claims) future income. There is no charge for our services.
Claimant attorneys in any type of case can use structured settlement annuities to defer taxation of contingent fees. This type of attorney fee planning can defer fees for retirement or education expenses, and create lifetime income.
