Operating his own private law practice in Encino, California, Slade Neighbors focuses on workers’ compensation defense as both legal counsel and courtroom litigator. Slade Neighbors holds multiple degrees and certifications that support his work with Medicare Secondary Payer Act compliance issues. One such certification is the MSCC (Medicare Set Aside Certified Consultant).
The MSCC designation identifies professionals in the workers’ compensation benefit system who have particular expertise in the Medicare set-aside trust arrangement process. In addition to holding official licensure or certification in their particular areas of employment (for example, an attorney must hold a license to practice law), MSCC candidates must have at least a year of full-time experience in a field that specifically relates to workers’ compensation benefits.
To receive the MSCC credential, candidates must subject themselves to the scrutiny of a Commission on Health Care Certification review board (CHCC) and agree to meet a strict set of career ethical and behavioral standards. Every three years, professionals who have obtained a MSCC must complete at least 15 continuing education units, complete a recertification, or face the expiration of this specialized designation.
