Medicaid can pursue third party liability—insurance, workers' comp, or settlement funds—to cover expenses it paid on your behalf, which means any money or coverage you have from another source may offset your Medicaid benefits. Knowing what counts as third party liability protects you from unexpected benefit reductions or repayment demands.
Third party liability coordination requires Medicaid to be the payer of last resort, meaning any other insurance coverage a recipient has must be billed before Medicaid pays, and failure to report other coverage can result in overpayment claims or case closure.
