SCS/SB 1215 - This act provides that public entities
which provide or pay for medical benefits for their employees
and dependents under a plan of self-insurance shall have the
same rights and obligations and be subject to the same
remedies as the Department of Social Service and Medicaid,
as provided in Section 208.215. That section allows the
Department of Social Services to recover payments from third
parties for the payment of medical bills. The act provides
that the act shall not apply to limited benefit supplemental
health insurance policies paid entirely by an employee of the
public entity.
