# Delaware SB 220 (152) — AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 RELATING TO HEALTH INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN AND PERSONS ON MEDICAID.
|
||
|
||
Medicaid is generally the “payer of last resort,” meaning that Medicaid only pays claims for covered items and services if there are no other liable third-party payers for the same items and services. When Medicaid beneficiaries have one or more additional sources of coverage for health care services, third-party liability (TPL) rules govern the legal obligation of such third parties. Section 1902(a)(25)(A) of the Social Security Act defines third-party payers as health insurers, managed care organizations, and group health plans, among others.
