This answer misses the point. If you have received a WC MSA as part of your settlement, this amount must be used to pay for any work-related medical care that would otherwise have been payable by Medicare. Failure to do so may jeopardize your right to Medicare now (if you are currently a beneficiary) or when you become a beneficiary. You can contact Medicare directly to discuss whether your situation has changed sufficiently for Medicare to permit you to exhaust your WCMSA.
