Orlando, FL, July 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Medicare road can be confusing, especially when it intersects with workers’ compensation. Stakeholders can get on a fast track to knowledge when “Medicare Secondary Payer Act 101: The Reader’s Digest Version” is presented during the August 19-23 Workers’ Compensation Educational Conference at the Orlando World Center Marriott.

Bret Cade, executive vice president of Gould & Lamb in Bradenton will moderate, and Roy Franco, principal of Franco Signor in Kenmore, N.Y. will speak.

The presentation will include a brief yet analytical review of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, which includes Conditional Payments, Medicare Set Aside (MSA) allocations, self administration and professional administration. Franco will also address how the MSP ties into the mandatory insurer reporting procedures.

The session will be presented on Tuesday, August 21.
