2011 MSP Case Law and Legislative Updates

• Hinsinger v. Showboat Atlantic City, wherein a court in New Jersey allowed a Plaintiff Attorney to collect his fees out of the MSA, which is contrary to guidance provided in published CMS Memoranda.
• Haro v. Sebelius, a class action lawsuit that resulted in the MSPRC ceasing their collection efforts while waiver or appeal of the conditional payment demand is being pursued.
• U.S. v. Hadden, a case that the industry hopes will finally address the issue of whether comparative fault reductions can be applied to conditional payment demands.

State Level MSP Enforcement

• Will the new proposed Maryland regulations pass? The new proposed regulations are much less stringent and seem to harmonize with CMS directives by requiring protection of Medicare?s interests in workers? compensation settlements without a mandate to utilize the voluntary CMS WCMSA review process.

CMS liability updates

• Discussion of CMS? first memo on liability MSAs, issued September 29, 2011

MSP Trends
