Many potential synergy. clients, as well as some current clients who do not send a lot of work (of which we are still grateful for) look at me as a great resource regarding all things lien and Medicare related, with fantastic response times which I pride myself on. However, there is more to the story: I have 31 years of plaintiff personal injury experience to date, and being a former equity partner in a small powerful PI shop in Florida is part of that story, as evidenced here. I get it. I am empathetic. I know what you expect. I know how to work a case. I have been there. If you are not yet using Synergy and I for all of your lien reduction and Medicare needs, I ask you to reconsider. With 60 former defense subrogation experts ready to fight for you and your clients as full-time employees standing with me, if it nets your client more money, and doesn’t take a penny from your earned fees, why would you commit your firm to the draining of time and resources when we can do it better? Does your firm and/or the company you are working with have this kind of knowledge, insight, breadth of resources, and skill to significantly chop down liens and be Medicare compliant in all ways? synergy. There is only one. Jason D. Lazarus, J.D., LL.M., MSCC, CSSC Laura Macnaught Anthony Prieto Omar Quddus Jeff Faulkner Daniel Alvarez

On Friday June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court, by a vote of 6-3, overturned its 1984 holding in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, stripping power from federal agencies to interpret and enforce regulations, and instead giving federal judges all power to decide what statutory language means. For those of us involved with Medicare mandatory reporting, reimbursement of conditional payments, and setting aside settlement dollars to pay for future medical needs associated with a liability, no-fault, or workers compensation claim, the question now is whether and how this decision will affect Medicare secondary payer compliance? If you are going to be at 78th Annual WCI Educational Conference at the Orlando World Marriott next week, would love to speak with you about your thoughts, concerns, and ideas about how Loper will or will not affect MSP compliance. To speak with me about MEDICARE, MEDICAID, VA/TRICARE, and ERISA issues connected to your liability, no-fault, or work comp claim or litigated case, please visit me at www.cattielaw.com, email me at rgonzalez@cattielaw.com, or reach me at 813.967.7598. #rafaelgonzalezesq #cattiegonzalezpllc #ahigherstandardinmspcompliance

9 Major Medicare Changes for 2025 and How They'll Impact Your Coverage Key Takeaways Medicare changes include the elimination of the Medicare “donut hole” and a limit on how much you’ll have to pay out of pocket for covered prescription drugs. There will be a new payment plan you can opt into to spread out your medication costs. In response to these changes, insurers will likely change pricing and coverage for Medicare Advantage and Part D plans. Medicare Advantage beneficiaries should receive a letter in the middle of 2025 about unused benefits. Other changes impact the availability of mental health care, prior authorization use, and unpaid caregiver support for Medicare recipients with dementia. #Medicare2025 #MedicareChanges #HealthcareUpdates #PrescriptionCoverage #MedicareAdvantage #HealthcareReform #MentalHealthCoverage #SeniorCare #MedicarePartD #DementiaCare #HealthInsurance #OutOfPocketCosts #CaregiverSupport #PriorAuthorization #PatientAdvocacy

When I partner with a Financial Advisor to help their clients with Medicare, I know it's so important for me to handle this client with the utmost care. Here are 3 ways I focus on gaining their trust: 1. Being empathetic I am always empathetic to my clients and their situations. I try to fit their plan to them as if I were fitting a plan for my parents. 2. Learn about them I always try to figure out the exact needs of my clients. I call this the client discovery phase. I understand what they want and need, what are their past experiences with healthcare, what they have liked, and what they have disliked. 3. Assurance I have fit 1000’s of people to the best Medicare plans. I let my clients know that I am in this with them for the long run. I have seen almost every medical situation imaginable so I know how rough times can be.

As plan fiduciaries how are you managing this risk?
