MEDICARE REPORTING

Medicare beneficiaries must comply with Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007.

**Reporting Threshold:** Settlements exceeding $750 related to physical trauma-based claims must be reported.

To fulfill this requirement, the following steps must be taken:

1. Report the case through the Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Portal (MSPRP) or

2. Contact the Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center (BCRC) for assistance.
