FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Andrew Rosenberg (arosenberg@thornrun.com), (202) 247-6301 The Medicare Advocacy Recovery Coalition (MARC), a national coalition of stakeholders advocating for the improvement of the Medicare and Medicaid Secondary Payer (MSP) programs, applauded the Congress for enacting Section 53102 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 to repeal Medicaid third party liability (TPL) policies that have the effect of eliminating the incentive for beneficiaries to pursue and settle third-party insurance claims. MARC has consistently advocated for these reforms, which would support Medicaid beneficiaries and the Medicaid program at-large by removing barriers to beneficiaries reaching a settlement when another party is liable for their health care expenses — such as a car accident or a workers’ compensation claim.
