WASHINGTON–A coalition that includes insurance companies has been formed to negotiate with the Medicare program as well as Congress on overhauling reimbursement and recovery procedures for secondary payers.
The coalition, being called the Medicare Advocacy Recovery Coalition, is being created as Medicare is launching a “new, and potentially massive, program involving liability claims,” according to co-chairman Roy Franco, who also serves as director of risk management strategies for Safeway.
“We look forward to working with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services as they” initiate this program, he said.
