Co., 835 F.3d 1351 (11th Cir. 2016) – that reshaped the interpretation of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, amplifying the rights of health plans in pursuing similar claims.

In Kingsway, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the lower court decision and rejecting a primary’s arguments that a claims-filing provision imposed a timeliness requirement with which government, or, presumptively, 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. In ACE, the Eleventh Circuit reversed several lower court decisions and providing downstream actors that have made conditional payments in an MAO’s stead or that have reimbursed an MAO for its conditional payment to bring suit for double damages against the primary payer.
