MSAs can delay settlement payment and reduce net recovery. Funding helps bridge the MSA review period.
Medicare Set-Asides allocate a portion of the settlement to cover future Medicare-related medical care. They're commonly required on workers' compensation settlements over $25,000 and increasingly relevant on liability settlements.
MSA review by CMS can take months and may require revision before approval. Settlement payment is typically delayed until MSA documentation is in place.
Pre-settlement funding can extend through MSA review periods. Cases nearing settlement but stuck in MSA limbo are good candidates for bridging funding.
Post-settlement funding is also available to bridge the final wait between MSA approval and check disbursement.
Your attorney can explain whether your case requires an MSA. AARC's underwriting accounts for MSA delays in timing.
