Employer Plan Language consulting
In addition to providing subrogation services to our clients, we are also available to assist with crafting and revising plan subrogation and COB language. In order to recover the maximum amount of plan benefits and to make the third party recovery program as effective as possible, health care plans should have clear, well designed plan language.
The ability to recover from possible third party tortfeasors is dependent upon the plan’s ability to recover in either equity or contractually. The importance of well-designed plan language is critical, as many state and some federal jurisdictions employ various equitable principles in order to defeat health plan subrogation claims even when there is clear contractual language.
The importance of plan language is further magnified by various laws which may prevent claim recovery such as the make whole rule, the collateral source rule, comparative negligence laws and other state anti-subrogation laws.A complete subrogation reimbursement provision must address a number of scenarios.These include the responsibility of the plan to make payment, the ability of the plan to secure repayment of its claims form the responsible party and the obligation of covered persons under the plan to reimburse or protect the interests of the plan. We can assist you in drafting plan language to address these issues, as well as others, in order to maximize your recovery.
