Overview

69H-2.008

Other Forms Adopted

PURPOSE:

The proposed rule is necessary in order to comply with federal mandates that will become effective on July 1, 2009. Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (Section 1862(b) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395(y)(b)) adds mandatory reporting requirements with respect to Medicare beneficiaries who receive settlements, judgments, awards, or other payments from liability insurance (including self-insurance), no-fault insurance, or workers’ compensation. The Division of Risk Management, as a required reporting entity, must identify any Medicare beneficiaries that have existing claims with the Division of Risk Management and collect certain data that will be reported to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The data collected under federal law will be used by CMS in processing claims billed to Medicare for reimbursement of items and services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries and for Medicare as a Secondary Payer recovery effort, as appropriate.
The simplest and most effective means to collect this data is to promulgate a form that will be sent to all applicable claimants.

SUBJECT:

Forms for requesting information from workers’ compensation claimants and liability claimants pursuant to the enactment of federal law and the promulgation of federal standards.
