Medicare Set-Aside Certified Consultant (MSCC) is a national certification, not a New Hampshire license. How a New Hampshire court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the New Hampshire venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve New Hampshire.
The MSCC certifies professionals in the preparation of Medicare Set-Aside allocations for workers' compensation and liability settlements. Scope includes identifying injury-related, Medicare-covered future care, pricing it under the applicable fee schedule, and documenting the allocation in a form that satisfies Medicare's review process and protects the parties' interests.
New Hampshire civil claims are tried in the Superior Court. Workers' compensation claims are administered by the Department of Labor, with disputes heard by its hearing officers and the Compensation Appeals Board.
Outside the civil courts, the New Hampshire Department of Labor, Workers' Compensation Division is the forum where a plan is most often examined in New Hampshire. KW Life Care Planning MSCC-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for New Hampshire's practice environment.
MSCC-credentialed experts provide testimony in New Hampshire's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: New Hampshire Supreme Court. Federal venues: D.N.H..
