Inside WorkCompCollege Study Hall: Why Heather Sanderson Created the MSPA Program

Heather Sanderson shares her insights in this WorkCompCollege Study Hall session about why she founded the Medicare Secondary Payer Accreditation (MSPA) program. With over 67 million Americans enrolled in Medicare, and complex legal obligations arising from workers' compensation, general liability, and no-fault insurance claims, she emphasizes the critical need for comprehensive MSP compliance education. Despite well-established MSP rules, few resources cover all aspects of compliance. The MSPA program, a fully on-demand and virtual training, addresses these gaps by offering practical, expert-led guidance on Medicare conditional payment obligations, Medicare Set-Asides, and Section 111 reporting. Heather explains how this education empowers workers' comp professionals to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, avoid hefty penalties (up to $365,000 for reporting errors starting in October 2024), and ensure seamless recovery processes for injured workers, preventing disruptions to Medicare benefits and ensuring financial peace of mind post-settlement.
