A workers’ compensation law specialist certified by the State Bar of California, Slade J Neighbors is founder of his own professional law corporation based in Encino, California. For more than two decades, Slade J Neighbors has performed trials, advised clients, filed appeals, settled cases, and more. Among his professional memberships, Slade Neighbors is an active participant in the Medicare Advocacy Recovery Coalition (MARC).
Based in Washington, D.C., MARC is an advocacy coalition dedicated to supporting reforms to Medicare secondary payer policy. The Medicare secondary payer policy comes into effect when a party other than Medicare is responsible for paying a beneficiary’s healthcare expenses. In this case, Medicare has a “secondary” legal responsibility to pay providers. MARC advocates for improvements to the Medicare secondary payer policy to make it less confusing and more efficient for everyone involved.
MARC membership is open to third-party administrators, trade associations, attorneys, retailers, and other individuals or groups involved in federal secondary payer policies and programs.
