Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) in Jones Act Cases Presented by John V. Cattie, Jr. (Preview)

Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) compliance can be a minefield in Jones Act cases, where maritime law intersects with one of the most complex federal reimbursement statutes on the books. In this course, John V. Cattie, Jr. of Cattie & Gonzalez, PLLC explains how and why the MSP Act applies to Jones Act claims, even though they are often mistakenly treated like traditional workers’ compensation cases. He walks attorneys through the foundational purpose of the MSP statute, its historical evolution, and the critical distinction Medicare draws between workers’ compensation and Jones Act claims under federal regulations.

Cattie breaks down the three core components of MSP compliance in this context: reimbursement of conditional payments for past medicals, mandatory insurer reporting obligations, and the unresolved issues surrounding future medicals and Medicare set-asides. He explains how missteps can expose employers, insurers, attorneys, and claimants to recovery actions, interest, penalties, and even double damages. With detailed statutory analysis, regulatory context, and real-world scenarios, this program provides attorneys handling Jones Act matters with a clearer framework for navigating MSP obligations, mitigating risk, and protecting clients from costly post-settlement surprises.
