TPOC WCMSA Webinar March - woman presenting meeting

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced that it is holding a Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-Aside (WCMSA) Reporting Webinar. This CMS webinar is scheduled for March 25, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. (ET).

Of note, this webinar was originally scheduled for October 1, 2025, but it was ultimately cancelled shortly before it was scheduled to begin. While CMS did not provide a reason for its cancellation, it may have been related to the federal government shutdown which began on October 1st.

In any case, this webinar is now scheduled for March 25th with CMS providing the following description of this event:

CMS will be hosting a WCMSA Reporting Webinar. The intent of the webinar is to review the WCMSA reporting process that was implemented in April 2025, discuss some of the issues encountered from CMS’ perspective, and review WCMSA reporting best practices. As parties impacted by the WCMSA reporting, we also welcome anyone else involved in the submission and administration of WCMSAs, including attorneys and Medicare beneficiaries, to join. Please bear in mind that this Webinar is intended to broadly address the WCMSA reporting process and questions regarding specific cases are not appropriate for this setting.

In advance of the webinar, participants are encouraged to email general questions related to Section 111 WCMSA reporting to the resource mailbox at PL110-173SEC111-comments@cms.hhs.gov. Requests for an accessible format of the presentation should also be sent to this resource mailbox.

See CMS’s notice for instructions on how to attend this CMS webinar event.

Comments

As noted above, the focus of this webinar relates to CMS’s recently implemented TPOC/WCMSA reporting requirements which became effective April 4, 2025. Exactly what CMS will cover on this webinar remains to be seen. However, in our recent article we outlined and discussed several issues and problems experienced thus far as part of CMS’s implementation of its new TPOC/WCMSA process. We are hopeful CMS will address the issues discussed in our article as part of this upcoming webinar.

Per usual, Verisk policy team members will attend this webinar and we will release a webinar summary shortly following this event.
