Medicaid Coordination of Benefits

It is common for people eligible for Medicaid to have one or more additional sources of coverage for health care services.  Third Party Liability (TPL) refers to the legal obligation of third parties to pay part or all of the expenditures for medical assistance. By law, all other available third party resources must meet their legal obligation to pay claims before Medicaid pays for the care of a person eligible for Medicaid.
