The time has come to consider the long-term impact of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act on workers' compensation claims.

Section 111 added mandatory reporting requirements for liability insurers (including entities that self-insure), no-fault insurers and workers' compensation insurers (nongroup health plan insurers or NGHPs) providing coverage to Medicare beneficiaries.
