From Jack’s Desk: PMLS Video #42 DOJ Escalates the Targeting of Trial Attorneys
Another big settlement reached between the DOJ and trial attorneys! This time, a Baltimore law firm has paid $91,406.98 to resolve allegations related to Medicare Conditional Payments.
The details of this case reveal that the DOJ has significantly upped the ante. They make it clear that entering into a joint agreement with co-counsel can make you an accessory to the violation of mishandling Medicare Conditional Payments. Jack has the news and analysis for you.
Medicare is Pivoting and Change is Coming
Make sure that you and your firm are ready.
Within the DOJ press release that Jack refers to in the video above are two salient quotes every trial attorney serving injury victims needs to be cognizant of:
“Plaintiffs’ attorneys cannot refer a case to or enter into a joint representation agreement with co-counsel and simply wash their hands clean of their obligations to reimburse Medicare for its conditional payments,”
“We intend to hold attorneys accountable for failing to make good on their obligations to repay Medicare for its conditional payments, regardless of whether they were the ones primarily handling the litigation for the plaintiff.”

From Jack’s Desk: PMLS Video #41 – Is Medicare Acting Like Lucy Yet Again?

Jack Meligan has been traveling, and in this video he shares two interesting tidbits that he has heard about this long-promised guidance.
Jack also covers actual letters denying payments that Medicare has been sending out to beneficiaries. Specifically, ones that they know have received settlements.

From Jack’s Desk: PMLS Video #40 – Medicare’s Secret Police Work For Free
Back in 2012, Medicare said that they would be issuing guidance about MSAs. Every year since then, it seems like Medicare has promised and then re-promised that guidance was coming soon. But then, they pull a “Lucy” and yank the guidance football away from all of us Charlie Browns.
Word on the street is that this fall Medicare will finally be issuing that long-awaited guidance.
In this video, Jack Meligan shares his thoughts on what that guidance will likely be.
Jack also lets you in on the secret about who Medicare has “deputized” to help enforce Medicare’s Secondary Payer rules.
