Event Synopsis:

In August 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued two opinions in Humana v. Western Heritage, affirming that Humana has a right to be reimbursed the conditional payments it has made, and is entitled to double damages pursuant to the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (MSP) as well as MSP Recovery v. Allstate, holding that a first-party no-fault insurer's contractual obligation can provide the "demonstrated responsibility" necessary to allow a claim against the insurer for double damages under the MSP. While these decisions are considered as major victories for Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), it is crucial for liability insurers, no-fault carriers and other primary payers to have a clear understanding of the recent ruling and watch out for its loopholes to mitigate potential legal challenges.

In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the latest Medicare Advantage decisions and will help them understand all the important aspects of this significant topic. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing effective strategies in mitigating common pitfalls and risk issues.

Key issues that will be covered in this course are:

§  Medicare Secondary Payer Act – An Overview

§  Recent MSP Ruling - Humana v. Western Heritage

§  Recent MSP Ruling – MSP Recovery v. Allstate

§  Significant Implications and Loopholes

§  Primary Payer Reimbursement Obligations

§  Regulatory Forecast
