Good Morning,

Generally, a claim can be settled at any time. However, there are several factors that must be analyzed to determine if it is a good idea to settle. Probably the most important is a reasonable determination of future medical costs. Additionally, depending on your situation, you may have to obtain approval of any settlement from Medicare.
