Bill > SF1931

This bill requires the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services to issue a request for proposals to identify potential third-party recovery opportunities under the state's Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare programs. The bill allows eligible vendors to audit existing state data to identify specific cases for potential recovery and requires them to provide an estimate of the value of potential third-party recoveries and recommend methods to make those recoveries. Based on the audit results, the Commissioner may contract with a vendor to implement a third-party liability recovery program, where the vendor would be reimbursed using a percentage of the recovered funds, and no state dollars would be expended for the program's administrative costs.
