Division of Risk Management SCHIP Form Rule Workshop Not Held Due to Lack of Request
Jul 15, 2009
The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Risk Management (“Division”) Rule Development Workshop on Proposed Rule 69H-2.008 entitled “Other Forms Adopted,” scheduled for Monday, July 13, 2009, was not held because it was not requested.
The proposed Rule relates to forms that will be used for requesting information from workers’ compensation claimants and liability claimants pursuant to the enactment of Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children’s Health Insurance Program Extension Act of 2007 (“SCHIP”), which became effective on July 1, 2009.
SCHIP adds mandatory reporting requirements with respect to Medicare beneficiaries who receive settlements, judgments, awards, or other payments from liability insurance (including self-insurance), no-fault insurance, or workers’ compensation. The Division must identify any Medicare beneficiaries with existing claims and must collect certain data that will be reported to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The collected data will be used by CMS in processing claims billed to Medicare for reimbursement of items and services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, as well as for the Medicare as a Secondary Payer recovery effort.
