BOSTON (Dec. 19, 2011) – An article written by Tamara Smith Holtslag and Jennifer Rousseau analyzing the new Medicare Secondary Payer Act has been published in the December 2011 issue of the New Hampshire Bar News.

Smith Holtslag and Rousseau assess how the stringent requirements and penalties imposed by the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (MSP) could potentially expose clients to liability for reimbursement payments to Medicare.

The new provisions in the MSP, according to the authors, should prompt attorneys to closely examine the reporting requirements for claims involving Medicare beneficiaries. The MSP requirements slated to go into effect January 2012 are related to the Medicare Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007.
