The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a notice advising that CMS will be holding its second TPOC/WCMSA webinar on April 16, 2024 (2:00 p.m. ET) to further discuss its plans to use Section 111 TPOC reporting to collect WCMSA data points as part of non-group health plan (NGHP) Section 111 reporting. This new notice comes on the heels of CMS’s February Alert through which CMS provided updated details and information regarding this new process which will begin next year on April 4, 2025. Testing for this process will begin in October 2024.

Regarding this webinar, CMS states as follows in its notice:

CMS will be hosting a second webinar regarding the expansion of Section 111 Non-Group Health Plan (NGHP) Total Payment Obligation to Claimant (TPOC) reporting to include Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-Aside (WCMSA) information. After the first webinar in November, CMS received additional questions and feedback from the industry. The intent of this webinar is to ensure that RREs will be prepared for the change once implemented. With that in mind, this webinar will include a background recap, summary of technical details, updated timelines and CMP impacts. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. Because this expansion impacts reporting of WCMSAs, it is strongly recommended that Responsible Reporting Entities (RREs) that report Workers’ Compensation settlements attend.

Please see CMS’s notice here which explains how you can attend CMS’s webinar.

Verisk policy team members will attend this webinar and provide a summary following the event.
