Federal and state laws require that if at the time of an
accident you are Medicare and/or Medicaid eligible, you must report the accident
to Medicare and/or Medicaid to confirm that neither has made accident
related payments for you. This is the case even if you know that you have
not used Medicare or Medicaid to pay for any of your accident related
treatment. Consequently, any settlement you reach cannot be finalized
until Medicare and/or Medicaid has confirmed whether or not it has made
accident related payments. If you have any questions. please feel free
to call us and we will be happy to help.
