If an insurer or trust utilizes the services of an administrator pursuant to the terms of a written agreement, the payment to the administrator of any premiums or charges for insurance by or on behalf of the insured shall be deemed to have been received by the insurer or trust. The payment of return premiums or claims by the insurer or trust to the administrator shall not be deemed payment to the insured or claimant until the payments are received by the insured or claimant. Nothing in the Third-party Administrator Act shall limit any right of the insurer or trust against the administrator resulting from failure of the administrator to make payments to the insurer or trust, insureds, or claimants.
