Cooperation in Reporting to CMS Sample Clauses

Cooperation in Reporting to CMS. Plaintiffs’ Counsel and their respective Eligible Plaintiffs acknowledge that under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act of 1980 (“MSP”) and Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (“MMSEA”), Defendants may be required to report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) certain settlements entered into with Medicare beneficiaries. CMS may seek reimbursement for those portions of a settlement that are duplicative of certain amounts that were already paid through Medicare. Plaintiffs’ Counsel and their respective Eligible Plaintiffs agree to cooperate with Defendants to determine whether any such Eligible Plaintiff’s Claims are such that Defendants must report to CMS any settlement reached with that Eligible Plaintiff. All Releasors who are natural persons shall complete and sign the “Medicare and Medicaid Information Declaration” attached as Exhibit 1 to their Individual Releases, to assist Defendants in initially determining whether their Claims require reporting. Plaintiffs’ Counsel agrees to use its best efforts to obtain from Releasors who are natural persons all Medicare and Medicaid Information Declarations to determine whether each Releasor’s Claims are such that settlement thereof must be reported to CMS.
