Medicare Advantage Plans: Resolving the Hidden Lien
Resolving Medicare Advantage (MAO-Part C) liens is a critical but often overlooked step in protecting personal injury settlements. Unlike traditional Medicare, MAO plans operate independently, and CMS does not provide notice of their payments. Failure to uncover and resolve these hidden liens can expose attorneys to aggressive enforcement actions, including double damages under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. From Humana v. Western Heritage to the impact of the PAID Act, this blog explains how to identify MAO coverage, manage lien obligations, and protect both client recoveries and your firm. Partnering with lien resolution experts ensures compliance and prevents costly mistakes.
Is the PAID Act the Solution for Locating Hidden Medicare Advantage Liens?
The PAID Act has the potential to make it easier to locate these hidden liens. The risk of not finding them is a private action by the Medicare Advantage plan for double damages.
