What the MSAA can do for you
The professional Medicare Set Aside Allocator is one who has met the professional criteria to complete a Medicare Set Aside (MSA). Recently, Medicare has made a statement towards the worker's comp arena in that Medicare will no longer take the responsibility of paying work related injury claims when they shouldn't be. It is imperitive that one understands when and how the claims should be evaluated and what is acceptable to Medicare. The MSA is very detailed oriented and Medicare guidlines must be followed. There is no one better to complete the MSA than a nurse with training in the legal arena. The MSA allocator must evaluate and understand the medical records to ascertain the medical needs now and in the future. Codes must be matched and fee schedules utilized appropriately with diagnosis. CMS (Medicare) now warns that the Medicare could seek up to double the amount if not done correctly and the client could lose Medicare eligibility. There is no second chance. Supported documentation and careful research must be completed. Finally, the MSA allocator being a certified nurse life care planner is a definite and unique advantage.
