Provisional Medicare Set Aside (PMSA)

This abbreviated MSA allocation provides an accurate projection of the future cost of medical care in a workers’ compensation or liability settlement. This product is intended for planning and evaluation purposes in cases where the Social Security Disability status and/or Medicare eligibility status are undetermined. The PMSA will also identify and delineate any and all cost drivers that might be inflating the MSA. This document does not contain a medical chronology and is NOT intended to be submitted to CMS, but can be converted to a traditional MSA.

Medicare Set Aside (MSA)

Our Medicare Set Aside product(Workers’ Compensation/Liability) allows our customers to settle cases with confidence.  Our MSA’s produce the lowest, most realistic allocation amounts while providing a report that will withstand CMS scrutiny.

All of our reports include:

  • Recommendations to reduce MSA cost drivers
  • 10 business day turnaround time
  • Part D pricing verification just prior to submission to ensure accuracy
  • Annuity quote, Professional Administration quote or Self-Administration Assistance quote upon request
  • Peer to Peer Review options (upon request)
  • Rated Age
  • Seed Money calculation
  • Expedited service (upon request)

CMS Submission

Once Axiom has completed the WCMSA/LMSA and receives a request from our client for CMS review and approval, the necessary documentation is prepared and submitted to CMS. This service includes re-submission of the case to CMS for reconsideration, if necessary, and following the process through all the way to approval.

Abridged Cost Projection (ACP)

Abridged Cost Projection (ACP)

Axiom National’s Abridged Cost Projection (ACP) is designed to provide the claims professional and/or defense counsel with a detailed, accurate projection of all the current and follow up costs associated with one of the following: specific surgical procedure, prosthetic device, durable medical equipment (DME), medical device, or infusion therapy. This service is utilized by our clients principally for establishing medical reserves or settlement evaluation.

Medical Cost Projection (MCP)

Our Medical Cost Projections provide the claims professional with an unbiased third-party estimation of the future cost of care. It is a useful tool for setting accurate reserves and can be a key component for settlement negotiations. Medical Cost Projections are for those claims where a WCMSA/LMSA is not yet appropriate.

SSDI/Medicare Status or Conditional Payment Inquiry

SSDI/Medicare Status or Conditional Payment Inquiry

Axiom will quickly confirm if a claimant has applied for Social Security Disability Benefits. Application for and/or approval of Social Security Disability Benefits means the claimant meets Medicare’s “reasonable expectation of Medicare eligibility within 30 months” threshold, in which case completing and funding a Medicare Set Aside is recommended. We will also quickly determine if a claimant is a current Medicare beneficiary, and whether CMS is alleging they have made Conditional Payments on the claimants behalf and if they are asserting a lien.

Structured Settlement

Structured settlements offer many benefits to all parties when it comes to settlement of a workers’ compensation or liability claim file. For carriers and insured’s, a structure can represent significant cost savings versus a lump sum payment. For plaintiffs and their attorneys, a structure represents security and peace of mind.

When a Medicare Set Aside is a component of the settlement, all parties benefit from a structured settlement. Why? A structured settlement adds a layer of protection by minimizing the potential for misappropriation of MSA funds, thereby reducing the threat of Medicare benefits potentially being denied to the plaintiff, and significant potential fines and penalties for the defense.

AXIOM has the experience and expertise to help you through the entire structured settlement process.

Conditional Payment Lien Dispute

Identifying and resolving CMS conditional payments and liens is at the heart of Medicare Secondary Payer Act compliance. Let our professional staff bring resolution to any conditional payment or lien issues your company may have.

Our service includes:

  • Confirmation as to whether or not the injured party is receiving Medicare benefits – if so, we will contact the Coordination of Benefits Contractor and report the claim.
  • Request Payment Summary from Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Contractor(MSPRC) and review conditional payment summary.
  • Dispute unrelated medical costs and claims.
  • Secure finalized demand from CMS – original demand less unrelated medical costs and claims.
  • Provide final CMS demand letter – MSP requires payment to CMS within 60 days of receipt of final Demand Letter.

Our Conditional Payment/Lien Negotiation service increases your staff’s productivity by allowing them to focus on core competencies and ensures MSP compliance.
