Detailed Information
What You Need to Know
When you settle a personal injury lawsuit — whether it is from a car accident, a slip and fall, medical malpractice, or another type of incident — Medicare may have an interest in your settlement. If you are currently on Medicare, or if you are expected to enroll within 30 months, you have a responsibility to consider Medicare's interests when settling your case.
Liability settlements are different from workers' compensation cases when it comes to Medicare rules. CMS does not currently have a formal review process for liability MSAs the way it does for workers' compensation MSAs. However, that does not mean you can ignore Medicare's interests. Courts and CMS have made it clear that settlement recipients have an obligation to protect Medicare's future interests in liability cases.
Medvst specializes in helping liability settlement recipients navigate this evolving area of law. We assess whether a liability MSA is appropriate for your case, help determine the right allocation amount if one is needed, and provide full administration services to keep you in compliance. Our goal is to protect your settlement and your Medicare benefits so you can focus on moving forward with your life.
Our Process
How It Works

MSA Allocation & Setup
If an MSA is recommended, we determine the proper allocation amount and set up the account to hold and administer the funds.
Administration & Compliance
We provide full ongoing administration — paying medical bills, tracking expenses, filing reports, and keeping you compliant with all Medicare requirements.
FAQ
Common Questions

While CMS does not currently have a mandatory review process for liability MSAs like it does for workers' compensation, Medicare beneficiaries still have a legal obligation to protect Medicare's interests in any settlement. Setting up a voluntary liability MSA is considered a best practice to protect your Medicare benefits and avoid potential recovery actions by CMS.
We handle all types of liability cases including auto accidents, premises liability (slip and fall), medical malpractice, product liability, dog bites, and other personal injury claims. If your case involves a settlement and you are a Medicare beneficiary or may become one, we can help.
The main difference is the CMS review process. Workers' compensation MSAs can be submitted to CMS for formal review and approval. Liability MSAs do not have this formal review process, so they are set up voluntarily based on industry best practices and legal guidance. The administration process, however, is similar — funds are set aside and managed to pay for injury-related medical expenses before Medicare begins covering those costs.
