Medicare set aside trusts

 As of this writing, set-aside trusts are required only in worker’s compensation cases.  The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has announced a new web portal for filing the electronic filing of applications for set-aside trusts in those cases.  The new web portal for electronic filing will be available in 2011.  In the meantime, submit applications to:

 CMS
c/o Coordination of Benefits Contractor
P.O. Box 33849
Detroit, MI 48232
Attention: WCMSA Proposal

 You can subscribe to the new web portal and receive emails each time the page is changed.  The web portal information page is at:
