Section 210-RICR-10-00-5.1 - Legal AuthorityA. Federal law requires the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to seek recovery of Medicaid expenses from Medicaid beneficiaries' third-party payments. The purpose of this regulation is to set forth the process for the recovery of such payments by the State using the Medical Assistance Intercept System (MAIS) as mandated by R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 27-57.1.B. In accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws § 40-6-9 and applicable administrative rules, when applying for Medicaid, an applicant automatically assigns, as a condition of eligibility, his/her rights of subrogation to the EOHHS for any third-party payments from insurers. Nothing in this Part shall limit EOHHS from recovery of any other monies allowed, to the extent of the distribution, in accordance with all state and federal laws.210 R.I. Code R. 210-RICR-10-00-5.1
