| Action Summary | Under current law, Medicaid is generally the “payer of last resort,” meaning that Medicaid only pays for covered care and services if there are no other sources of payment available. Section 1902(a)(25) of the Social Security Act (the Act) requires that states take “all reasonable measures to ascertain the legal liability of third parties.” This new law makes changes to the special treatment of certain types of care and payment, delays the implementation changes to the time period for payment of claims, repeals a provision regarding recoveries from settlements, and applies TPL to CHIP. |
