Set aside some time for subrogation 

When your client has been injured, you want to make sure they’re fully compensated for all aspects of the injury before agreeing to a settlement. This requires careful consideration of all potential subrogation claims, including those from Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) health plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurers. Negotiating lien reductions and ensuring compliance with Medicare’s future medical interests are also essential to settlement negotiations. 

At Subrogation/Section 102.29/ERISA/Medicare Set-Asides, you’ll explore the legal frameworks governing reimbursement claims, with a focus on protecting your clients’ interests and minimizing potential liabilities. 

What you’ll learn:

• The rights of insurance companies to seek reimbursement from third-party settlements
• How to quickly identify a client’s insurance types and send appropriate notices
• Effective reduction strategies, including the Made Whole and Common Fund doctrines, for negotiating lien amounts
• How Wisconsin’s Section 102.29 allows insurers to recover worker’s compensation benefits paid to an injured employee from third-party settlements 
• Future medicals and Medicare’s role in worker’s compensation cases

Don’t miss Subrogation/Section 102.29/ERISA/Medicare Set-Asides, where you’ll gain the knowledge to ensure the best outcome for your clients.
