Negotiation is about compromise. Each side usually gives up something. You won’t give up anything unless you, and only you, make […]

Understanding Public Income and Medical Benefits after the Affordable Care Act

January 27, 2014/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

There’s a lot more to the Affordable Care Act than buying private health insurance through an exchange marketplace like www.CoveredCA.com. Four kinds of public benefits can help people get the medical care they need: Subsidized premiums and co-pays for private health insurance purchased through an exchange.  Commercial insurers issue these policies, not the government.

The Elephant in the Room

January 20, 2014/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

Sometimes the issues the lawyers and adjusters are discussing are not what is most important to the Applicant. Recently, in a pretty small case, the professionals told me the disagreements were about what had been paid and what was still due.

January 13, 2014/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

“AFFORDABLE CARE ACT” NOT “OBAMACARE” The term “Obamacare” is a nickname for the Affordable Care Act.  But sometimes politics can get in the way of clear thinking.   The Affordable Care Act encompasses much more than the purchase of private health insurance on an exchange like Covered California, www.CoveredCA.com.

FOUR REASONS TO AVOID THE CMS APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MSAs

December 14, 2013/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

Many Workers Compensation professionals believe they must secure approval of a Medicare Set-Aside (“MSA”) before they can close out medical benefits.  In California terms, professionals think they cannot complete a full Compromise & Release (C&R) without going through a lengthy administrative process.  This is not true. 1)                   MMSEA reporting makes approval unnecessary for Medicare beneficiaries.  […]
