Within 30 days of the beginning of each fiscal year, the board shall determine the percentage of hospital and physician and dental and mental health expenses to be paid on all claims paid during that fiscal year. The board shall consider the availability of funds to the board when setting the percentage it will pay. The board must not pay more than this percentage of a victim's total hospital and physician and dental and mental health expenses after payment by collateral sources and after any discounts made pursuant to agreements with insurers, health maintenance organizations, and federal, state, or local government agencies. Acceptance of payment for medical, dental, and mental health services from the Minnesota Crime Victims Reparations Board shall be considered acceptance of payment in full and bars any legal action against the victim for collection. The board shall compensate the claimant in full if the claimant paid the hospital or physician or dental or mental health expenses.
