GFRG Client Advisory: CDC Published the 2006 US Life Tables
July 12, 2010
By Mary Skinner
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recently published its 2006 United States Life Tables. Effective July 19, 2010, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin referencing the CDC's Table 1: Life table for the total population: United States, 2006, for WCMSA life expectancy calculations. This means that for any newly submitted WCMSA proposal received by CMS' Coordination of Benefits Contractor (COBC), or where any WCMSA case is reopened on or after July 19, 2010, CMS will apply the CDC's 2006 Table 1 for life expectancy calculations. You may access the CDC's United States Life Tables at www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/life_tables.htm, or by accessing the CDC's United States Life Tables in the related links outside of CMS section of this page..

"Hiring the Garretson Firm to negotiate my clients' Medicare and Medicaid liens is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The representatives of the Garretson Firm keep me up to date on their progress in the negotiations and obtain a resolution in a timely fashion. Having the Garretson Firm on your side is the only thing that makes sense when it comes to reimbursement issues."
