New CMS Life Expectancy Table Effective April 12, 2010

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has published its 2005 United States Life Tables. Effective April 12, 2010, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin referencing the CDC's Table 1: Life table for the total population: United States, 2005, for WCMSA life expectancy calculations. This means that for any newly submitted WCMSA proposal received by CMS' Coordination of Benefits Contractor (COBC), or where any WCMSA case is reopened on or after April 12, 2010, CMS will apply the CDC's 2005 Table 1 for life expectancy calculations.

The CMS website is a good source for up-to-date information and changes as they relate to workers' compensation.
