COMAR 10.09.29.08. Recovery and Reimbursement

A. If the recipient has insurance, or if any other person is obligated either legally or contractually to pay for, or to reimburse, the recipient for any services covered by this chapter, the provider shall seek payment from that source. If payment is made by both the Program and the insurance or other source, the provider shall report, within 15 days after the close of each month, on a form designated by the Department, the amount paid by the Program, and the insurance or the other source, whichever is less, and refund the total amount of the lesser of the two payments reported to the Program at that time.

B. If refund of a payment as specified in §A, of this regulation, is not made, the Department will have the right to reduce its current payment to the provider by the amount of the duplicate payment, overpayment, or third-party payment.
