Workers' Compensation: CMS Webinar on the PAID Act

To implement the Provide Accurate Information Directly (PAID) Act*, enacted December. 11, 2020 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has scheduled a webinar. The program will stream on Wednesday, June 21, 2021.

CMS will be hosting a webinar to discuss upcoming impacts to Section 111 Non-Group Health Plan (NGHP) Responsible Reporting Entities (RREs) related to the PAID Act, which was signed into law on December 11, 2020.

This webinar will cover what the PAID Act is, details of the NGHP Section 111 Query Response File changes, information on the scheduled testing period and implementation timeframes. The webinar will also be followed by a live question and answer session with staff from CMS and the Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center.
