Bill > H512

This bill aims to conform private medical insurance subrogation policy with public subrogation policy. It proposes to amend Chapter 111 of the General Laws to limit the lien, right of reimbursement, subrogation claim, or claims of recoupment that health maintenance organizations, group or individual medical insurers, or disability insurers can have on an injury victim's recovery from a third party. The bill specifies that the insurer's claim cannot exceed the proportionate share of the recovery that corresponds to the amount of benefits provided for covered services relative to the victim's total tort damages. The bill also allows either the insurer or the victim to petition the court to determine the reasonableness of the settlement and the fair allocation of amounts payable.
