# Medicare Set-Aside Record Review Services > Full claim-file review for WCMSA and LMSA allocations. Treatment, drugs, dosages and frequencies extracted and cited to the CMS WCMSA Reference Guide. Canonical page: https://medrecords.ai/solutions/medicare-set-aside-record-review/ --- [Home](https://medrecords.ai/) ›[Solutions](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/) ›Medicare Set-Aside Record Review MEDICARE SET-ASIDE RECORD REVIEW ## The allocation is only as defensible as the record behind it. Medicare set-aside record review reads the full claim file, 300 to 3,000 pages, and returns every injury-related treatment, drug, dosage and frequency, cited to the source page, before the allocation is written. CMS-approved WCMSA and LMSA amounts ran 24% above proposal in FY2025, the highest variance in five years, and the record behind the number is where that gap closes.

So is the referee. We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In Medicare set-aside allocation, both are already federal policy. The rulebook and the referee The rulebook - CMS WCMSA Reference Guide v4.x — versioned, public, and extraordinarily detailed methodology CMS reviews the allocation against - 42 USC §1395y(b) and 42 CFR §411 — the Medicare Secondary Payer statute and its implementing regulations - CDC Life Table, Table 1 — the life-expectancy table rated allocations are built against - Section 111 reporting — the mandatory reporting obligation tied to the settlement The referee - CMS's Workers' Comp Review Contractor (Capitol Bridge), who issues a written approval or a COUNTER-HIGHER with a dollar figure attached - FY2025: 13,884 determinations processed, approved amounts running +$16,540 / +24% above proposal on average, the highest variance in five years - The submitter, who owns the allocation once CMS's number lands, higher or not Allocation reports run $1,200–2,500 (WCMSA) and $1,800–3,500 (LMSA), of which 50–65% is record-review labor Flat 10¢/page here, duplicates free Claim file extract · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Claim file342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicatedlogged Injury treatment threadImproving since 4/02 · 7 visitstracked MedicationsExtracted, with dosages & frequenciescited Non-injury treatmentPresent in file, excluded from extractflagged Allocation amountNot produced — yours to writeyou 7 visits · cited 100% · no allocation number, no CMS approval How it works ### Three steps between the claim file and the allocation. 01 #### Send the claim file The full claim file as you already have it, in any format. In the demo case, 342 pages across 2 packets, with 11 duplicate pages removed before the read starts. 02 #### We return every injury-related fact, cited Treatment, drug, dosage and frequency for every visit tied to the accepted injury, each line linked to its source page. Non-injury treatment stays out of the extract, flagged as excluded rather than silently dropped. 03 #### You write the allocation The allocator builds the WCMSA or LMSA proposal against CMS's Reference Guide methodology, using the extract as the treatment record. The AI never sets the dollar amount and never predicts CMS's approval. The boundary, in writing ### A record review that knows it isn't the allocation. We extract the injury-related treatment, drug, dosage and frequency, and cite every page. We do not set the allocation amount, do not predict what CMS's review contractor will approve, and do not give a legal or medical opinion. The WCMSA or LMSA proposal, and the number in it, belong to the allocator. In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. The claim-file review flags it and quarantines it in its own line, instead of folding it silently into the record CMS will review.

IN ACTION · claim-file extract → allocation-ready export ](https://medrecords.ai/product/summaries/) FAQ ### Medicare set-aside record review, answered. No. We extract and cite the injury-related treatment, drug, dosage and frequency the allocation is built from. The dollar figure is written by the allocator, using CMS's WCMSA Reference Guide methodology. CMS's Workers' Comp Review Contractor can approve, counter-higher, or ask for more documentation. Our claim-file extract stays available so the allocator can trace any treatment CMS flags back to its source page without re-reading the file. Yes. Non-submit allocations still need the same injury-related treatment record, cited and organized; whether the proposal goes to CMS for review is a decision the allocator and carrier make separately. We extract every drug, dosage and frequency found in the record, cited to its source page. Projecting future drug cost against CMS's pricing methodology is the allocator's calculation, not something we produce. No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes. ### Send one file. We'll tell you what we can read. No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
