Common use of Third Party Liability and Recovery and Coordination of Benefits Clause in Contracts

Third Party Liability and Recovery and Coordination of Benefits. Medicaid coverage is secondary when coordinating benefits with all other insurance coverage, unless an exception applies under federal law. Coverage provided under Medicaid will pay benefits for Covered Services that remain unpaid after all other insurance coverage has been paid. For Network Providers and Out-of Network providers with written reimbursement arrangements with the MCO, the MCO must pay the unpaid balance for Covered Services up to the agreed rates. For Out-of-Network providers with no written reimbursement arrangement, the MCO must pay the unpaid balance for Covered Services in accordance with HHSC's administrative rules regarding Out-of-Network payment (1 T.A.C. §353.4). MCOs are responsible for establishing a plan and process for avoiding or recovering costs for services that should have been paid through a third party. The plan and process must be in accordance with state and federal law and regulations, including Section 1902(a)(25)(E) and (F) of the Social Security Act, which require MCOs to pay and later seek recovery from liable third parties: (1) for prenatal and preventive pediatric care, and (2) in the context of a state child support enforcement action. The projected amount of TPR that the MCO is expected to recover may be factored into the rate setting process. HHSC will provide the MCO, by Plan code, a monthly Member file (also known as a TPR client file). The file is an extract of those Medicaid Members who are known or believed to have other insurance. The file contains any Third Party Recovery (TPR) data that HHSC's claims administration agent has on file for individual Medicaid clients, organized by name and client number, and adding additional relevant information where available, such as the insured's name/contact information, type of coverage, the insurance carrier, and the effective dates. The MCO must provide related reports to HHSC, as stated in Section 8.1.17.1, "Financial Reporting Requirements." After 120 days from the date of adjudication of a claim that is subject to TPR, HHSC has the right to attempt recovery, independent of any MCO action. HHSC will retain, in full, all funds received as a result of any state-initiated TPR or subrogation action.
