2-011 Cooperation in Obtaining Third Party Medical Payments
469 NAC 2-011
The application for grant and/or medical assistance constitutes an automatic assignment of the client's rights to third party payments made on behalf of the client for medical care or services which are payable under NMAP. As a requirement for assistance, the client must also cooperate (unless s/he has good cause for noncooperation) in securing any third party medical payments.
This assignment gives the Department the right to pursue and receive payments from any third party liable to pay for the cost of medical care and services of the client and any other unit member and which otherwise would be covered by NMAP.
The assignment becomes effective with the date of eligibility for grant and/or medical assistance. For MA cases with a Share of Cost, the assignment becomes effective the first day of the cycle when the case status changes to 450, "obligation met."
