2017 – Played an integral role in certifying the first class action related to the Medicare Secondary Payer Act’s double damages provision. MSPA Claims 1, LLC v. Ocean Harbor Cas. Ins., Case No: 2015-1946-CA06 (Fla. 11th Cir. Ct. 2016).
2020 – Served as a principal author of the briefing that led to the reversal of a decision by a federal appellate court. (1) MSPA Claims 1, LLC v. Kingsway Amigo Ins. Co., 950 F.3d 764 (11th Cir. 2020). In Kingsway, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the lower court decision. It rejected a primary payer’s arguments that a claims-filing provision imposed a timeliness requirement with which the government or, presumptively, a private entity providing Medicare benefits, such as an MAO, must comply as a prerequisite to filing suit to seek reimbursement for payments that it made on behalf of a Medicare beneficiary.
2022 – Authored an amicus brief in support of the prevailing position. Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Big Y Foods, Inc., 52 F.4th 66 (2d Cir. 2022). The Second Circuit affirmed the district court’s order and held that the MSP Act’s private cause of action permits an MAO such as Aetna to recover from a tortfeasor such as Big Y.
