medical assistance - Notice of claim - Discharge of obligation. A. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3624 of this title, whenever an insurer who has not discharged its obligation to make payments to an individual for medical services, and if that individual has received medical assistance from the Department of Human Services, then the insurer, upon notice that medical assistance has been furnished, shall make its payments directly to the Department of Human Services, but not to exceed the amount of medical assistance paid by the Department of Human Services or medical service rendered by the Department. B. Provided further, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3626 of this title, any insurer who, after having been put on notice of payment of a medical claim or claims or the rendering of medical services by the Department of Human Services, and in disregard of said notice, subsequently makes payments on the same claim or claims to persons or entities other than the Department of Human Services shall not be discharged from payment to the Department of Human Services in the sum and amount claimed by the Department. Payment to the Department by the insurer under the provisions of this section shall discharge the insurer's obligation with respect to all further payment on the claim or claims for the amount paid. C. Provided, further, that the notice requirements of this act are satisfied (1) when the insurer receives a copy of the claims paid or medical services rendered by the Department of Human Services together with a request for reimbursement by certified or registered mail, or (2) when the insurer receives a claim from a beneficiary containing information to the effect that the beneficiary has applied for or has received medical assistance from the Department of Human Services in connection with the same claim as set forth in Section 3 of this act. The insurer who receives such claim shall notify the Department of Human Services of its obligation on such claim and shall pay the obligation to the provider of service or if the Department of Human Services has provided medical assistance thereon, pay the Department of Human Services.
