Page 2 Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited. Roy A. Franco Chief Legal Officer Franco Signor LLC Over the past two decades, Roy A Franco has emerged as one of the principal architects of policies and practices that define the world of Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) compliance. The Medicare Advocacy Recovery Coalition (MARC) became the chosen vehicle for that reform effort. Founded in 2008 by Mr. Franco and other persons interested in Medicare policy, its membership comprises most sectors of the MSP-regulated community, including plaintiffs, defense attorneys, brokers, trade associations, and third part administrators. The coalition’s primary mission is to advocate for MSP on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries and companies. Its major achievement to date is the Strengthening Medicare and Repaying Taxpayers (SMART) law of Drawing on his wealth of experience, in 2011 Roy Franco and Jeff Signor founded Franco Signor LLC, which specializes in Medicare compliance.
