Cooperation requirement for applicants and recipients of medical assistance to identify potential liable third-party payers modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's requirement for medical assistance applicants and recipients to identify third parties potentially responsible for their medical costs (like private insurance). It clarifies that cooperation includes providing information about third-party payers and group health plans, but explicitly states that coverage through the Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association (chapter 62E) cannot be considered group health plan coverage for this purpose. The change affects individuals receiving state medical assistance who must now help identify liable third parties, with the exclusion of the state health plan from being treated as a cost-effective group plan. The amendment updates Minnesota Statutes section 256B.056 to reflect these specific provisions.
