Congress is again being asked to amend the Medicare Secondary Payment Act, just six months after enacting reform legislation dealing with the issue, which took five years to pass congressional muster.
The Medicare Secondary Payer and Workers' Compensation Settlement Agreements Act of 2013 was introduced Wednesday in the House, sponsored by Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., and Mike Thompson, D-Calif.
The new legislation seeks to reform the processes and procedures used by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in its review of workers' compensation settlement agreements.
