42 U.S.C. §1395y(b)(2) Medicare Secondary Payer Act — every allocation, every report

The most defensible MSA allocation and Section 111 report a WC payer can file.

The Compliance Engine assembles a documentation-complete Medicare Set-Aside allocation and matching Section 111 report — every statutory element, every required medical record extraction, the CMS fee schedule pricing, the life-expectancy projection, and the mandatory reporting fields — checked against the Medicare Secondary Payer Act and CMS guidance before a certified reviewer releases it.

Why allocations fail

A single missing element can trigger False Claims Act exposure.

A workers' compensation settlement with a Medicare beneficiary now requires a defensible Medicare Set-Aside allocation and mandatory Section 111 reporting — even below the $25k CMS review threshold, even for $0 allocations. Miss a future medical item, misprice a drug against the correct fee schedule, fail to report the MSA amount or funding type, and Medicare can refuse to recognize the settlement or pursue post-settlement recovery.

Most payers run this by hand, from memory, once or twice a year. The Medicare Secondary Payer Act has not been read end-to-end since the last time it mattered. That is exactly where completeness gaps hide.

The Compliance Engine exists to close that gap with a single, exhaustive standard applied identically to every file.

missing allocation elements is enough to jeopardize a settlement
The benchmark

Measured against the letter of the MSP Act and CMS guidance — subsection by subsection.

We do not summarize the law and hope. Every allocation and report is scored against a versioned rule pack tied to the exact text of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act and CMS WCMSA Reference Guide. These are the provisions each file is held to.

42 U.S.C. §1395y(b)(2)(A)(ii)

Future medical allocation

All injury-related future medical care and prescription drugs are identified from the medical and pharmacy history, projected over the claimant's life expectancy, and priced against CMS fee schedules and drug pricing.

42 U.S.C. §1395y(b)(7)–(8)

Section 111 mandatory reporting

Every settlement with a Medicare beneficiary is reported to CMS with the MSA amount, period, funding type, initial and annual deposit, case control number, and professional-administrator EIN — all fields present, or the report does not release.

CMS WCMSA Reference Guide §6.0

CMS review threshold & $0 allocations

For settlements at or above the CMS review threshold ($25k current beneficiary; $250k reasonable expectation), the allocation is submitted for CMS approval. For $0 allocations, a defensible self-determination is documented with supporting evidence.

42 U.S.C. §1320a-7b

False Claims Act avoidance

Every allocation and report is structured to avoid knowingly presenting a false claim — the allocation is supported by medical records, pricing is verified, and reporting fields are accurate.

CMS WCMSA Reference Guide §8.0

Life expectancy & projection methodology

Life expectancy is determined using CMS-recognized mortality tables and adjusted for the claimant's comorbidities. Future treatment frequency and duration are projected based on standard medical guidelines.

42 U.S.C. §1395y(b)(2)(B)(iii)

Medicare's right to recover

The allocation ensures Medicare is not billed for injury-related care that should be paid by the set-aside. The report documents the funding mechanism and administration to prevent post-settlement recovery.

How a file is built

Intake to certified reviewer release, with deterministic gates the AI cannot overrule.

AI extracts and drafts. Deterministic rules — running as code, outside the model — decide what is complete. A certified MSA/clinical reviewer signs every release. That order is never reversed.

01

Delinquency Gap Scan

Upload the settlement details, medical records, and pharmacy history. We return a free completeness read: which statutory elements and pricing data you already have, and which are missing.

02

Medical record extraction & pricing

As your authorized clerical agent, we retrieve and de-duplicate medical records, extract diagnoses and treatment history, isolate injury-related care, and price each line against CMS fee schedules and drug pricing.

03

Grounded drafting

The allocation report and Section 111 fields are drafted from your validated data and the MSP rule pack into field-locked templates — no legal opinions, no invented facts.

04

Deterministic completeness gates

All future medical items are reconciled to the medical record; pricing matches CMS fee schedules; life expectancy is verified; Section 111 fields are complete; any failure blocks release.

05

Certified reviewer release

A certified MSA/clinical reviewer reviews the exception queue and signs the release. High-value or complex cases route to attorney review first.

06

Delivery

You receive the allocation report, Section 111 data file, evidence log, pricing workbook, and administration instructions — ready for the payer to file with CMS and fund the set-aside.

Why the Compliance Engine

Built to be the most thorough option a payer has.

Documentation-complete, by design

The deliverable is completeness itself — every statutory element and pricing item accounted for or explicitly exception-coded. Nothing is left implicit.

Deterministic, not vibes

The gates that decide completeness are code, not a model's opinion. A drafting error cannot slip past a statutory requirement.

In its lane, on purpose

We prepare documentation and run pricing as your clerical agent. We never give legal advice, determine settlement strategy, or act as a fiduciary.

Engagement

Flat fee, per released allocation and report. No contingency, ever.

Simple, predictable, and aligned with a documentation standard — not a cut of any settlement.

  • A free Delinquency Gap Scan before you commit — see exactly what is missing.
  • One flat fee per released MSA Allocation & Section 111 Report; disclosed pass-through pricing data fees.
  • Optional fixed-fee attorney review for high-value or complex cases.
  • Optional Professional Administration Add-on for ongoing account management and annual reporting.
FAQ

Questions, answered precisely.

Is the Compliance Engine a law firm?
No. The Compliance Engine, a service of Your Deputy, Obuke LLC, provides documentation-completeness services. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent you in any legal matter. Attorney review is available and recommended for high-value or complex cases.
Do you determine settlement strategy or act as a fiduciary?
Never. The Compliance Engine is not a fiduciary and does not determine settlement amounts or strategy. The payer remains responsible for all settlement decisions and for funding the set-aside.
What makes an allocation 'complete'?
Completeness is defined by the MSP Act and CMS guidance: all injury-related future medical care identified and priced, life expectancy projected, Section 111 fields populated, and pricing verified against CMS fee schedules. Deterministic gates enforce each one before release.
How fast is it?
The standard SLA is five business days from complete intake to a certified reviewer-released allocation and report. The free Gap Scan is returned much sooner and tells you exactly what is still needed.
How are you priced?
A flat fee per released allocation and report, plus disclosed pass-through pricing data costs. No contingency and no percentage of any settlement amount.
