Medicare Set-Aside from KW Life Care Planning for matters venued in American Samoa. With about 55,000 residents, American Samoa is priced at the community level: attendant-care, home health, and skilled-nursing rates are surveyed from providers serving the evaluee's own community, and physician and therapy follow-up is priced where the evaluee can realistically obtain it. Where a needed specialty or rehabilitation facility is not available locally, the plan budgets travel to the nearest center that offers it and documents the provider behind every rate. Plaintiff and defense.
The High Court of American Samoa (Trial Division) is the primary trial-level forum for the personal injury and medical malpractice claims these plans support. The American Samoa Department of Health oversees the licensed providers and facilities whose rates the plan relies on. Final state-court appeals run to the High Court of American Samoa, Appellate Division (American Samoa has no separate supreme court). American Samoa is served by 1 federal district court.
