Support the Medicare Secondary Payer Enhancement Act
April 8, 2010
Dear AAJ Member,
AAJ members have frequently reported that the Medicare Secondary Payer Act is riddled with inefficiency. HR 4796, the Medicare Secondary Payer Enhancement Act would correct this problem by requiring the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) to respond to requests for their lien amount within 60 days. Self-funded by a $30 application fee, this bill costs the taxpayers nothing, and it has the broad support of coalitions including the National Retail Federation and Allstate Insurance.
You can help move this important legislation towards passage by asking your Member of Congress to cosponsor HR 4796.
Do you have a client story that illustrates the unfairness of the current system? If so, please contact Sam Kruzel at Sam.Kruzel@justice.org or call 202.965.3500 ext 8280.
If you have questions about this legislation, do not reply to this message—please contact Sarah.Rooney@justice.org directly.
Thank you for your commitment to civil justice.
Sincerely,
Linda Lipsen
Executive Vice President, Public Affairs
