June Consulting Group Helps Ensure Compliance with Medicare Reporting Act

June Consulting Group, the leading woman-owned company specializing in corporate legal technology, announced today that it is offering a consulting and configuration package that will help corporations remain compliant in the face of new deadlines for mandatory Medicare reporting requirements.

According to Phil Neely, head of business development at June, “We are responding to our clients’ concerns about the risk of non-compliance, which hinges on implementing a repeatable process that guarantees all reporting is done completely and in a timely manner. Fortunately, we can help companies leverage the power of the systems they already have. Our consultants have the expertise to create custom fields, rules and reports within an existing matter management system to automatically track claims, schedule notices, and electronically report to Medicare.

The Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (MMSEA) set forth reporting requirements for applicable claims involving Medicare beneficiaries where, on or after July 1, 2009, there is a settlement, judgment, award or other payment that constitutes payment or reimbursement for medical costs. Compliant reporting with quarterly submissions is required for the first time in 2010. Enforcement penalties of $1,000 for each day of noncompliance related to each claimant can become quite substantial very quickly. Failure to report just one Medicare beneficiary for only one quarter results in up to a $90,000 fine.

Neely explains, “The matter management system is the central secure location where all related legal matter information is stored, and it offers many advantages. For example, clients can update, view and share information and link the legal team’s calendar to view and prioritize important deadlines. They appreciate the ability to customize screen views, quickly generate reports and protect privacy with permission-based access. Such features help companies cope with the burden of the new Medicare reporting requirements.”

Clients are finding June’s Medicare Reporting Act Consulting and Configuration Package very attractive. Neely adds, “It’s all about fulfilling our role as their technology advocate. June consultants fully understand the requirements of the Medicare Reporting Act, and our clients know that we will deliver expert advice from beginning to end.”
