Avoid CMS Development Letter Delays: Learn How in Our Upcoming Webinar

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to issue an increasing number of CMS Development Letters following Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) submissions, and not all of them make sense. While some requests are warranted, many appear unnecessary, resulting in delays, frustration, and additional work for claims teams.

At Tower MSA Partners, our strategy has always been to prevent Development Letters before they happen. Even with meticulous planning, CMS sometimes requests additional documentation to finalize its review. That’s why it’s critical to know how to anticipate, address, and respond to these letters when they arrive.

Join us for a live webinar on July 23, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET as Tower’s Chief Compliance Officer, Dan Anders, and CMS Submission & MSP Compliance Manager, Brittany Wilkerson, break down:

      • The most common CMS Development Letter requests you can expect
      • Unusual and emerging requests CMS is making
      • Proactive steps to prevent Development Letters
      • How to partner with Tower to avoid or quickly resolve these requests

You’ll also have the opportunity to submit questions in advance to be answered live during the session.

Don’t let CMS Development Letters slow down your settlement process.
