Congress has passed legislation sought by the insurance industry and other stakeholders since late 2008 that streamlines enforcement of the Medicare Secondary Payment program.

 The coalition "applauds Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., and Ron Kind, D-Wis, and Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore, and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, for their bipartisan leadership," he adds.
