All parties in a workers compensation case have significant responsibilities under the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) laws to protect Medicare's interests when resolving workers compensation cases that include future medical expenses. The recommended method to protect Medicare's interests is a Workers' Compensation Medicare Set-aside Arrangement (WCMSA), which allocates a portion of the workers compensation settlement for future medical expenses. The amount of the set aside is determined on a case-by-case basis.
