The purpose of this bill is to reform the Medicaid subrogation statute. The bill reorganizes the statute, clarifies the departments subrogation right, and provides a twenty-one day notification requirement upon actions, claims or settlement offers affecting the departments subrogation right. The bill creates civil penalties for violations of the notice requirement in the amount of $1,000 per day, up to $50,000 or the amount of past medical expenses at issue, whichever is greater. The bill requires any settlement or judgment of a claim against a third party to be allocated to include past medical expenses and approved by either the department or a judicial body.
