On January 10, 2013, President Obama signed the SMART Act into law. The SMART Act revises the Medicare Secondary Payer Act and penalties associated with Section 111 Reporting. It creates a framework to simplify the process of resolving conditional payment liens. The Act sets a three-year statute of limitations for conditional payment recovery lawsuits. It also revises the mandatory $1,000.00 a day penalty for late reporting and orders the Secretary of HHS to publish new rules on penalties for late reporting. The Act further requires an exception to penalties when the responsible reporting entity has made “good faith efforts to identify a beneficiary. . . for reporting information.”
