The Vaughn Law Firm, LLC, 315 W Ponce de Leon Ave, Ste 380, Decatur, GA 30030, US

The Law Offices of Beverly Manley & Associates, P.C. is an independent firm of attorneys and certified nurse life care planners serving the workers' compensation and liability communities nationwide. Founded in 1995, this firm assists counsel, insurance carriers, self-insured employers, and third party administrators in settling workers' compensation and liability claims while preserving the claimant's Medicare eligibility. Considering Medicare's interests under the Medicare Secondary Payer ( MSP ) Act and avoiding burden-shifting for future medical care in the settlement agreement involves setting aside a portion of the settlement ( the set aside funds ) to cover medical care needed for the injury that would otherwise be covered by the claimant's Medicare entitlement. If the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ( CMS ) determine that the set-aside amount is adequate, Medicare will agree to primary payer status once the Medicare set-aside funds are exhausted. To ensure that any subrogation interests held by Medicare are satisfied pursuant to the MSP Act and regulations, Medicare recovery claims must also be resolved. Our attorneys offer legal services to maximize the amount of disability benefits while preserving the claimant's eligibility for receipt of Medicare benefits.
