Quotes

“The need is still there. It’s been a pandemic but right now, Medicare has two threatened proposed rules which would drastically change the need for Medicare secondary payers.”

 

“We see reports all the time that the Medicare trust fund is running out by a certain date. The Medicare secondary payer act was designed to preserve the trust fund, so there’s been more enforcement on it for that reason.”

 

“I’m not just going to sit here and complain about it. I want to do something about it. To the extent there are future reforms, I want to advocate for my clients.”
