The CMS MSA Refference Guide
This guide was written to help you understand CMS' Workers' Compensation Medicare SetAside Arrangement (WCMSA, MSA) amount approval process and to serve as a reference for those electing to submit such proposals to CMS for approval. This guide reflects information compiled from all WCMSA Regional Office Memorandums issued by CMS, and from information provided on the CMS website.
The CMS Self-Administration
Tookit
If you have decided to self-administer your CMS-approved Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-Aside Arrangement (WCMSA), this Toolkit can help you manage your account appropriately and satisfy Medicare’s interests related to future medical care. Following this Toolkit will also ensure that if you are entitled to Medicare and you have Medicare-covered and otherwise reimbursable (“Medicare covered”) costs related to your workers’ compensation (WC) claim, Medicare will pay those costs when your WCMSA is used up (“exhausted” or “depleted”).
