Notice of Settlement, Judgment,
Award, or Other Payment
• Once case has settled, appropriate documentation must be
furnished to the BCRC. Required information includes:
– Date of Settlement, Judgment, Award, or Other Payment Amount
– Attorney’s fees (borne by the beneficiary)
– Other procurement costs borne by the beneficiary (itemized)
– In some instances a copy of the settlement/judgment/award will be
r
e
quested as well as a copy of the release signed in connection with
the settlement, judgment, award or other payment.
• The BCRC takes attorney fees and other procurement costs borne
by the beneficiary into account when computing a final demand
amount (see 42 CFR 411.37). Note: If the beneficiary’s
representative hires another individual or entity to resolve any
Medicare recovery claim, this fee may not be included in the
procurement cost. This is not a cost incurred to obtain the
settlement, judgment, award or other payment.
