Originally from ERISA and Health
Insurance Subrogation in All 50 States, Seventh Edition Chapter 1 provides attorneys and lay insurance subrogation professionals with the basic concepts of health insurance subrogation and the numerous legal issues in which it is enveloped, with the hope that increased knowledge about this confusing area of subrogation will equate to increased healthcare subrogation recoveries. This chapter also takes a cursory look at the different types of subrogation, including Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Benefit Act (FEHBA) and the interplay between health insurance subrogation and workers’ compensation claims. A more detailed treatment of subrogation in these areas is found in Chapters 12 and 13. Information on a health insurer seeking reimbursement from a workers’ compensation carrier in a pending claim is discussed in Chapter 10. An added feature to this chapter is a detailed exposition on the purposes of subrogation, its benefits to the economy and the insurance industry, and a critical and responsive look at some of the traditional arguments used by trial attorneys and judges against the often ill-understood concept of subrogation. Preview Table of Contents and first pages above.
Gary L. Wickert is an insurance trial lawyer and is regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on insurance subrogation. He is the author of several subrogation books and legal treatises and is a national and international speaker and lecturer on subrogation and motivational topics. Mr. Wickert is also a politician in Wisconsin, serving his 15th term as Town Supervisor in the Township of Cedarburg. After 15 years as the youngest managing partner in the history of the 30-lawyer Houston law firm of Hughes, Watters & Askanase, L.L.P., he returned to his native Wisconsin in 1998 and co-founded the firm of Matthiesen, Wickert & Lehrer, S.C. He oversees a National Recovery Program which includes a network of contracted subrogation law firms in all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, and the United Kingdom and boasts more than $750 million in recoveries and credits for more than 250 insurance companies. Licensed in both Texas and Wisconsin, Mr. Wickert is double board-certified in both personal injury law and civil trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He is also dual board-certified as a Civil Trial Advocate and Civil Pretrial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA), for whom he has both written and graded product liability questions contained on the NBTA national certification exam taken by trial attorneys around the country. For the past 33 years, Mr. Wickert has also served as an expert witness on subrogation and insurance related issues and has been consulted by insurance carriers, attorneys, and legislative bodies from several states. He is a licensed arbitrator and has attended more than 750 mediations in more than 30 different states. He is one of only a few attorneys to have ever represented a client on a subrogation issue before the U.S. Supreme Court.
