gorilla in the room.” Here to demystify these complex issues is

letter?

Addressing Medicare’s
Future Interest: Are MSAs the Only Answer?
·
What’s the latest from Medicare about liability
settlements and future medicals?
· Is the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking binding on all
parties?
· How can I prepare for the final regulations coming from
Medicare?
· What steps must I take to ensure that a closed file stays
closed?
Ethics and the MSP
Act

How do the Model Rules of Professional Conduct interact
with MSP obligations?
