Cooperation requirement modification for applicants and recipients of medical assistance to identify potential liable third-party payers

This bill modifies Minnesota's medical assistance program rules by requiring applicants and recipients to cooperate with state agencies to identify third parties (like insurance companies) potentially liable for medical costs. It specifies that cooperation includes providing information about third-party payers and group health plans if the state deems them cost-effective and premiums are covered. The change clarifies that coverage through the Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association does not count as a cost-effective group health plan. This affects individuals receiving medical assistance by updating their obligations to help the state recover costs from responsible third parties.
