Orlando, FL, July 07, 2012 --(PR.com)-- To protect companies and employees it is critical that insurers, attorneys and claims professionals understand how Medicare set-asides can affect workers’ compensation and liability cases. The presentation “Seeing the Forest Through the Trees: MSA/LMSA Trends” at the August 19-23 Workers’ Compensation Educational Conference at the Orlando World Center Marriott will offer guidance in that area.
Panel members include Rafael Gonzalez, director of Medicare compliance at Gould & Lamb in Bradenton; Celia Mendez, mediator and attorney with Moreland & Mendez in Maitland; Cynthia Sage, corporate counsel for FCCI Insurance Group in Sarasota; and Lisa Kalo, attorney with Kalo & Verheul in Sarasota.
